Experience
Bradford Pear Bloom
EA used a fixed-wing drone to document the Bradford Pear tree spring bloom along 15 miles of highway corridor. The hi-resolution images will be used to quantify the scope of the invasive species within the right-of-way.
Fallbrook Creek
EA received funding from the DoD Legacy Resource Management Program to assess the threat of accelerated erosion and the feasibility of implementing nature-based erosion control projects in key areas for mission sustainment and protection of sensitive resources within the context of current and projected future climate stressors at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach Detachment Fallbrook, CA. Erosion control treatments were developed as demonstration projects to evaluate their ability to stabilize the system from current degradative forces and buffer its capacity for increased resiliency during future storm events.
Big River Management Area
EA is developing a property management plan for the Big River Management Area, which spans over 8,400 acres. Work includes assessing and cataloging the site's infrastructure , documenting and developing recreational management strategies, assessing security and emergency vehicle access, and recommending and prioritizing implementation actions to guide the management of the area over the next 5 years. EA is employing a wide array of field and desktop methodologies, including trail condition assessments, automated trail monitoring, in-person site visits and surveys, and mapping applications.
