Favorite Project: 

The Market Place at Christiana

Why:    I enjoy designing and planning wetland mitigation projects in which the goal is to maximize its value as wildlife habitat.  This particular project involved producing a plan for 6 created wetlands and 2 upland habitat enhancement areas.  It was my favorite project because I was involved in each of the many steps involved in selecting the mitigation and enhancement areas (including wildlife and vegetative surveys of the property, characterizing the current soil and hydrology conditions of potential mitigation areas, producing an Environmental Impact Assessment report, and coordination with county committees).  It was a great experience and I look forward to monitoring the success of these areas in the future.
