Rejuvenating Streams, Wetlands, and Waterways in North America
Founded in 1986 by Joseph "Joe" Wright, Wright Contracting began with humble beginnings—a 4 x 6-foot sandbox and a small John Deere tractor. Joe, a native of Cleveland County, NC, developed a deep connection to nature on his family's farm. With a background in landscaping and leadership skills honed as an Eagle Scout, Joe earned a BS degree in Biological & Agricultural Engineering from NC State University in 2008.
Specializing in stream and wetland restoration/enhancement, stormwater management, and grading/site work, Wright Contracting has completed numerous projects across the Carolinas and as far as Texas. Currently, Wright Contracting is involved in the Katy Prairie Mitigation Bank, a massive stream restoration project spanning over 110,000 linear feet of stream channel. This project, located on Warren Ranch near Houston, serves as a model for future ecological mitigation efforts, ensuring sustainable development in the area.
