Eubanks Environmental

Barrington Area Conservation Trust has utilized Dave for a number of properties for restoration as well as referred him to area landowners. Dave is an extremely knowledgeable ecologist and restoration expert. He has developed management plans and implemented restoration efforts at our preserves as well as led restoration workdays. Additionally, Dave recently led a talk on native plants for your home landscape which received rave reviews and was very well attended. It is a pleasure working with Dave as he is always willing to answer questions and offer advice on projects that come up. His knowledge and ease of working on restoration projects as well as his flexibility to lead a group of volunteers of all ages to help in restoration efforts is invaluable.

Eubanks Environmental: I have worked with Dave Eubanks for over 10 years now on various projects. He assisted our HOA in developing a restoration plan for our native buffer area around our neighborhood retention ponds and he helped a group of stewards develop and implement a 5-year Oak woodland restoration plan. Dave is very knowledgeable about all aspects of restoration projects and knows how to phase projects in to fit budgets and resources. He can help develop and plan the project as well as install and maintain it. Dave is very reliable and very conscientious. I would highly recommend him for any type of restoration or native planting project. B. Muskat

I have worked with Dave at Eubanks Environmental for over nine years on two different projects. First, Dave led the way on the conversion of my typical lawn-dominated yard to a habitat rich with native plant species and home to an abundance of birds, butterflies, pollinators and wildlife. For the last six years, he was also the lead ecologist on the restoration and transformation of a fifteen-acre globally-imperiled northern flatwoods which had been a dense thicket of buckthorn and is now a healthy oak hickory woods where over 120 native plant species and blue-spotted salamanders thrive. Dave guided and oversaw a group of community volunteers in this six year project. His expertise , hard work and ability to work with volunteers was critical to the success of this project. Under his guidance we received two ComEd grants and a Force of Nature award. Much thanks Dave for the transformation you have made in my yard and community.
