EXPERIENCE
Current
As the owner and principal landscape architect of his own firm established in 1995, Mr. Boyce has designed and overseen the installation of numerous wetland mitigation and restoration projects. These include projects proposed as mitigation to successfully gain permit approval for applications involving wetland encroachment, as well as in response to violation citations issued by various State and local agencies. Mr. Boyce is adept at working in both freshwater and tidal regulated wetlands.

Representative examples include the creation of new wetlands as mitigation for a major industrial/office park in Orange County, NY, a wetlands restoration plan in response to a NYSDEC tidal wetland violation in Queens, NY, and a wetlands restoration plan in response to a NYSDEC freshwater wetlands violation in Dutchess County, NY. In achieving successful results, Mr. Boyce’s knowledge of brackish wetland systems, freshwater systems, social significance factors, wildlife significance and construction feasibility has been key.
