FORD’S COLONY WETLANDS PRESERVATION
Williamsburg, Virginia

Since the project’s inception, Ford’s Colony has been sensitive to environmental preservation in creating this 2800 acre upscale golf course community.

Professional Wetlands Scientist Melvin Thomas evaluated, planned, and developed a wetland mitigation plan for this project. He represented Ford’s Colony in securing the environmental control permits from the Corps of Engineers, Virginia Marine Resources, and the Department of Environmental Quality. Generous green spaces, buffers and preserves provide a haven for wildlife and flora. A wetlands preservations area – currently 100 acres, with plans to double the preserve – was established on Powhatan Creek. Koontz-Bryant remains active with the ongoing wetlands mitigation project.

Ford’s Colony has received numerous awards and commendations for the conservation of natural resources.
