Escarpment
Staircase (Dougan & Associates)
Kayanase
acted as a sub-consultant and a restoration contractor to
complete an ecological restoration of the escarpment staircase
at the new upper level staircase along the Hamilton Rail Trail
to the Mountain Brow site in Hamilton, Ontario.
This
restoration project involved the use of innovative and yet,
very cost-effective measures for site preparation and erosion
control, to support ecological restoration of the site.
Large
woody, rock material and seed salvaged from the site was
combined with clean leaf mulch to create ground conditions on
the steep escarpment slope that prevent soil erosion while
promoting high success for establishment of native trees,
shrubs and herbaceous layer of species, consistent with the
natural healthy escarpment forest community.
The work
was completed in partnership with Dougan and Associates.
