Company Profile

Company Overview

In 1884, Herbert Westervelt began a career in the paper industry, developing Prairie States Paper Corporation, now known as The Westervelt Company. Realizing the importance of nature as a major resource in the paper-making business, the Westervelt family instilled an appreciation for the environment and its conservation. Appreciation of conservation facilitated our evolution from a manufacturing to a land resource management organization. With over half a million acres of timberlands, we continue to grow with the land serving as our guide. Today we focus on businesses which sustain our natural resources for the future. We are stewards of the land.

Westervelt Ecological Services is one of six business units of The Westervelt Company. With more than half a century of experience in the environmental industry, the senior planners, ecologists, landscape architects, economists, and engineers who guide the land acquisition process at Westervelt Ecological Services have successfully completed over 30 full restoration projects. Our team evaluates regional landscapes to identify potential restoration opportunities or valuable endangered species habitat.
