Science-informed. Field-tested. Rooted in Atlantic Canadian landscapes.
Nature-Based Solutions for Shorelines, Slopes, Native Ecosystems & Climate-Resilient Landscapes
For over 25 years, Helping Nature Heal has worked with shorelines, slopes, erosion sites, native ecosystems, habitat restoration projects, and climate-adaptive landscapes throughout Atlantic Canada. Today, our work focuses on ecological consulting, education, restoration guidance, implementation oversight, and long-term stewardship planning.
We do more than recommend fixes. We help people understand the living systems around them, including water movement, soil health, erosion processes, biodiversity, shoreline resilience, and the relationships that connect one property to the wider landscape.
Property lines are legal boundaries, not hydrological ones.

Atlantic Canadian Ecological Knowledge, Grounded in Place
Helping Nature Heal Inc. is an ecological consultancy and education company specializing in shoreline restoration, native plant systems, erosion mitigation, ecological design, and climate-adaptive landscapes. Founded by Rosmarie Lohnes, an Environmental Professional with over 25 years of field experience, Helping Nature Heal works with municipalities, organizations, landowners, and communities to restore ecological function through nature-based solutions and participatory education.
Our approach combines scientific observation, hands-on ecological knowledge, native plant systems, shoreline stabilization strategies, and long-term stewardship practices rooted in the realities of Atlantic Canadian landscapes.
Our Ecological Process
01. Observe
We begin by studying the site as a living system. This may include shoreline conditions, slope, drainage, vegetation, erosion patterns, soil health, biodiversity, and the surrounding landscape context.
02. Understand
We connect what is happening on the property to the larger ecological system. Water, roots, soil, vegetation, habitat, and human use all shape the recommendations.
03. Guide
We provide consulting, education, restoration planning, native plant recommendations, monitoring systems, or implementation oversight based on the needs of the project.
04. Steward
Healthy landscapes require long-term care. We help clients monitor change, understand progress, and make decisions that support ecological resilience over time.
Start With the Land. Build With Nature.
Whether you are facing shoreline erosion, planning a restoration project, exploring native plant systems, or looking for ecological education for your community, Helping Nature Heal can help you understand the land and choose the right next step.
