River Design Group, now part of SWCA Environmental Consultants, operates in the environmental services sector with a focus on ecosystem and river restoration. The firm blends science-based knowledge with proven restoration techniques to address projects in aquatic and riparian environments. The team brings over 200 years of combined restoration experience across more than 400 restoration design projects and about 600 river miles assessed or restored, including the design of 45 fish-passage culverts and the removal of 25 dams. Based in Whitefish, Montana, the group has worked on developing floodplain-inspired restoration techniques intended to support populations of Kootenai River White Sturgeon and Burbot in the Kootenai River, on behalf of the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho. This work reflects a specialization in restoring river connectivity and ecosystem health within the environmental services arena.
