It’s with much excitement (and a little delay in sharing!) that we officially welcome Scott Frederick to the V2 team! 🎉

Scott brings 25+ years of experience as an environmental engineer, ecologist, and soil scientist. Raised in North Carolina and NC State grad, he has led full-cycle restoration efforts—from design and permitting to construction, monitoring, and project close-out—across wetlands, streams, riparian buffers, nutrient offsets, and more.

Beyond his deep technical expertise, Scott has also helped build multiple companies throughout his career. At V2, Scott is serving as a technical lead on our projects and plays a key role in developing new lines of business.

Even more than his professional accomplishments, we’re thrilled about the positive energy, collaborative spirit, and vibrant personality. He and his family are already making an impact, and we couldn’t be happier to have them with us.

Please join us in giving Scott a warm welcome! 💙

🌿 Restoring Nature… and Ourselves 💧

Every time we visit a project site—whether it’s a stream we're restoring or a mitigation bank—we’re reminded of why we do this work. V2's founder, Adam McIntyre , has been doing this for over 25 years, and--if you know Adam, you'll know it still makes him teary because he feels like one of the luckiest people alive.

What makes it even more rewarding? The people. Landowners who take pride in seeing their lands thrive again, designers who pour their expertise and passion into every detail, contractors who take on the challenges of restoration with skill and dedication, and the partners and teammates who make it all possible.

With every foot of stream and every acre of wetland restored, we’re both restoring broken parts of nature and restoring something in ourselves.

Stay tuned for final updates on this incredible project! 🌎✨

You know that feeling when you're in your flow and you've got your groove on? Well, this stream is in her beautiful, curvy, healthy flow after feeling stuck and grumpy.

Since our launch back in April, we've been hard at work, and this project has been one of them. We restored two streams on this property that had degraded over time because of decades of conventional agricultural practices. The river banks had caved in, aquatic life was diminished, and the water quality was poor.

This landowner has been raising cattle for generations, and so the quality of their water and the care of their land is important to them. Really, it's the perfect partnership. Together with them, we designed a system of fences and watering structures that allowed this family to continue farming without interruption. Now, the streams are back to their natural channel position, and we'll be planting native trees and shrubs to keep the stream stable.

What are the bonuses? There's a small conservation easement around these streams that will protect the stream's flow; the family earns revenue; and that acreage is protected into perpetuity.

We also have 2,873 SMU credits for sale in the Hiwassee watershed.

And a shoutout to KCI Technologies Inc., Inc. who was an incredible partner on this project, prioritizing quality work. 🎉

Hear from experts and implementers on how counties are looking at stream restoration for the modern era.

This morning I (Adam) was thinking about how every area of life needs (and has!) its heroes.

Last week, Jamey, Krystyn and I went to the Environmental Markets Conference in Pittsburgh. Carlene Bahler and her team have been organizing this conference for roughly 20 years already, and it keeps getting better. Seriously. Exposure to new voices, more ways of thinking, new partnerships, more markets--all allowing a discourse that is refreshing, stimulating and incredibly accessible. I'm looking forward to some exciting changes coming later this year.

So my thanks goes out to Carlene Bahler, because it wouldn't be possible to mention the growth, impact and success of this industry without listing Carlene as a critical pioneer.

Did you know that more than half of humanity lives in an urban setting? As more of us flock to towns and cities, protecting our streams and wetlands becomes critical. Why? Well, climate regulation is just one beautiful function of wetlands.

This poster (from UN Biodiversity) is worth a peek...and will give you a little insight into why we're so passionate about one of our most critical relationships: the one we have with our natural world.
