ABOUT DUTRA / HANFORD

The ecological restoration industry enters a new era with Hanford’s acquisition by The Dutra Group.

over 40 years
of work

At Hanford, we’ve built a reputation for innovation in ecological restoration. Through strong partnerships and a dedicated team, we’ve delivered meaningful results in some of California’s most sensitive and vital landscapes—from mountain headwaters to coastal wetlands. We work where it counts.

Our team brings decades of hands-on experience in restoration science, construction, and land stewardship. Many of us have spent our entire careers in this work, and we bring that depth of knowledge to every project. We’re builders and botanists, operators and ecologists, united by a shared commitment to healthy ecosystems with long-term resilience.

a strong future

We value collaboration, humility, and follow-through. Our work is grounded in science, shaped by trusted partnerships, and carried out with care. Whether we’re restoring salmon spawning habitat, reducing fire risk, or reconnecting floodplain hydrology, we approach each project with respect for the land and the people who depend on it.

In May 2025, Hanford proudly became a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dutra Group. This step strengthens our foundation and opens the door to greater reach, capacity, and impact. With Dutra’s ownership, we’re entering a new chapter—combining operational strength with decades of shared expertise to take on larger, more complex restoration efforts across the state and beyond.

A new chapter in restoration is unfolding.
