Aquascape Environmental lent a hand for kids and for charity at the Sugarloaf Country Club Youth Fishing Rodeo on Saturday, April 18, 2009. The annual event, which is organized by the Sugarloaf Friends group, benefits Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

Employees of Aquascape Environmental volunteered their time early Saturday morning to help the 5- to15- year-old Rodeo participants bait hooks, cast lines, and learn the fundamentals of fishing. This is the 7th consecutive year that we have donated staffing for the community event. Thanks to Sugarloaf for inviting us for a fun-filled day!

Aquascape Environmental has been awarded the Barrington Farms Stream Restoration Project by the City of Roswell. The project scope includes development of plans and implementation of the construction phase for a stretch of unnamed creek that drains through Barrington Farms Subdivision and into Big Creek Park.

“The project objectives are to improve stream and bank stability, restore stream hydrology, protect water quality and diversify natural habitat,” said Paul Slovisky, Vice President of Operations for Aquascape Environmental.

“When the project is completed, Barrington Farms residents will be able to see and enjoy the results,” Slovisky added.

The projected completion date for the Barrington Farms Stream Restoration Project is Spring of 2009.

Residents of Walton on the Chattahoochee in Cobb County, Ga. are enjoying the beauty and tranquility of nature along the Chattahoochee River thanks to Walton Communities and Aquascape Environmental.

Walton Communities, which develops, owns and manages several high-quality apartment communities in the suburbs just north of Atlanta, contracted Aquascape Environmental for a riverbank restoration project at the Walton on the Chattahoochee community on Akers Mill Road. Restoration activities included rehabilitation of eroding banks, removal of invasive exotic vegetation, and re-establishment of the natural riparian buffer zone.

The project, which was completed in early June, served to enhance and protect the stretch of the Chattahoochee River that runs adjacent to the apartment community.

While the primary goal of the riverbank restoration project at Walton on the Chattahoochee was to achieve overall stability of the riverbank, buffer areas and habitat, special consideration was made by Walton Communities and Aquascape Environmental to ensure continued access to and enjoyment of the area by residents.
