Conservation & Bioenergy
CONSERVATION
FDCE has been establishing native grasses, forbs and pollinator habitat since 2003. We have successfully and professionally established and managed over 335,000 acres of habitat since inception, with project sizes ranging from 15-2,000 acres.
BIOENERGY
FDCE’s bioenergy sector focuses on the use of native perennial vegetation and crop residues to replace traditional non-renewable products and methodologies. Projects include: cellulosic ethanol, direct combustion, pollinator friendly solar arrays and poultry bedding.
