Committed To Restoring & Conserving America’s Streams, Wetlands, & Wildlife Habitats
WES CELEBRATES 15 YEARS
In May 2006, The Westervelt Company looked to invest in a new model of land stewardship. Providing professionally developed and managed habitats, Westervelt Ecological Services (WES) was established to provide long-term, large-scale restoration services to meet the needs of environmental requirements across the country. Since that time, WES has conserved over 30,000 acres of habitat and has permanently protected nearly 60 miles of steams nationwide.
On May 12th we are kicking off our 15- year anniversary with a virtual event, featuring live commentary by WES Vice President and General Manager, Greg Sutter, Vice President Emeritus Greg DeYoung, as well as a host of other WES partners, surprise guests, and never-before-seen photos!
NEW YEAR, NEW STAFF!
