Mr. Eubanks has led numerous ecosystem projects, working with hundreds of clients across 500 acres of land and lakes owned by homeowners, government, civic land trusts, private institutions, corporations, homeowner associations, and private estates.

He is currently leading volunteer efforts to restore rare oak flatwoods in Green Oaks as well as habitats for Libertyville Township, Barrington Area Conservation Trust, and Village of Hainesville, Illinois.
