Wendel helps communities, institutions, and private clients preserve and restore vital natural habitats through innovative green infrastructure, shoreline restoration, and comprehensive environmental planning. Wendel takes a holistic approach to environmental stewardship at every development phase, creating mutually beneficial connections between our clients, their communities, and the ecosystems that sustain them. We develop solutions that safeguard habitats, promote biodiversity, and strengthen climate resilience.
Our interdisciplinary team, comprised of engineers, ecologists, landscape architects, and community planners, collaborates from project inception through completion, seamlessly integrating ecological and community considerations into every step. We excel at simplifying complex data into clear, actionable insights for various audiences, ensuring transparency and fostering trust. This inclusive approach leads to projects that genuinely reflect shared priorities, drive community engagement, and result in compounding returns on investment.
Creating an accessible, inclusive, and environmentally friendly public park that offers recreational and educational opportunities while honoring the site’s unique industrial history.
We leverage nature-based solutions, including rain gardens, green roofs, permeable pavements, and bioswales, to effectively manage stormwater, reduce pollution, and foster healthier ecosystems.
Our green infrastructure projects range from rain garden design and implementation to green roof and wall installations, permeable paving, bioswale and bioretention systems, urban tree canopy enhancements, urban agriculture, and community gardens. These systems help control flooding, protect water quality, and support vibrant plant and animal habitats. They also add aesthetic and economic value, making communities more resilient and livable.
Shoreline and habitat restoration is key to preserving the health of our coastlines and the natural habitats they support. Through efforts like stabilizing eroding shorelines, protecting against storm damage, and bringing back native vegetation, we help strengthen the environment and ensure its long-term resilience.
Computer modeling allows calculations to be performed quickly and cost-effectively. We use this technology to produce high-quality designs for stormwater collection systems and detention facilities and to analyze and design drainage systems for complex areas and watersheds.
Wendel oversaw the design and construction of this wetland, which will treat water quality runoff from paved surfaces in the cemetery before it flows into Scajaquada Creek.
Landscape Architects envision a new chapter of environmental education and engagement.
Environmental master planning involves creating comprehensive, long-term strategies integrating ecological research with community aspirations. By harmonizing environmental insights with development priorities, these plans promote sustainable growth, protect local biodiversity, and lay the groundwork for resilient, thriving communities.
Environmental assessments are pivotal to understanding the potential impacts of any development project. Through services like EIS, SEQRA, and NEPA compliance, our team evaluates environmental risks and ensures all permit requirements are met. We safeguard ecological and project integrity by guiding clients through these regulatory processes.
