"The Lafayette Parks and Recreation Department, with the support and excellent services provided by JFNew, has established several acres of native wildflower prairie in Lafayette's Parks. These native prairie projects help restore a piece of history the Indiana prairie, help people gain respect for the environment and the prairie ecosystem, and help to restore and enhance wildlife habitat and native plant species found in the prairie."Superintendent

"The Frankfort Prairie Park is dedicated to the preservation of natural tall grass prairie - a habitat that was predominant in our area prior to European settlement. In 2000, JFNew was retained by the Village of Frankfort to design and establish a prairie park that promotes the conservation of Illinois' natural heritage. The site was completed in 2003 and now has over 150 species of native prairie flowers, grasses and wetland plants. The site looks as if it has always existed and is a wonderful addition to our community. Our thanks and appreciation to JFNew for a job well done."Howard Sloan, Assistant Village Administrator

"Access Business Group and JFNew partnered extremely well on our Riverbank Restoration Project (Grand River, Grand Rapids, MI). What we appreciated most was their ability to take a concept or vision, and make it come to life for us. They had used the bio-engineered lifts installation design at several smaller projects, but nothing as big in scope as this one! We had confidence in their ability to deliver on their promise. The project was met with challenges and changing conditions. However, JFNew personnel were able to present alternative ideas to complete the project...on time, and on budget! Another plus was the proactive approach we took together in meeting with regulatory agencies and the general public ahead of permit application submittal. We explained the project, addressed concerns, and were successful in obtaining the necessary approvals -- not just approvals -- but also acceptance and buy-in on the design. Our expectations of functionality and a positive environmental impact were both exceeded."Chuck Davison, Manager, Environmental Health & Safety Department
