Applied Ecological Services, Inc. (AES) 
As one of the leading ecological sciences firms in the U.S., AES specializes in ecological analysis, ecological restoration, monitoring sciences, and education, with specialists in wetland plant propagation, environmental mensuration, stream restoration, wetland mitigation and mitigation banking, and in the design, creation, restoration and management of natural areas.  AES was founded in 1978 by Mr. Steven Apfelbaum with the objective to design well conceived environmental restoration projects that meet the objectives of both the client and the regulatory requirements.  In addition to the firm’s consulting services, AES has the capability to draw upon the resources of the Taylor Creek Restoration Nurseries.  Taylor Creek is a full service nursery for native seeds and seedlings of the prairies, woodlands and wetlands, including contract growing services.  AES also has a full service contracting division that implements restoration construction, management, monitoring and research projects.  AES has a full time staff of 55 highly qualified individuals supplemented by up to 30 seasonal employees that are available for AES consulting projects and construction work.

AES develops resource management plans for municipalities, federal and state agencies and private clients.  AES regards resource management, land reclamation, and ecosystem restoration projects as serious and creative acts of environmental stewardship.  We design creative, cost effective programs that are definitive and environmentally sound.  First we gather relevant data that characterizes the environmental conditions at a project site.  After review of this data, plans are prepared for the property.  As part of management planning we often design monitoring programs to determine management prescriptions as well as the effectiveness of the restoration installation.  Management planning and restoration services are performed in an appropriate time context after discussion with clients and exploration of applicable regulations.
