A key concern of the Cultural Resource Management industry is conservation of Heritage and Cultural sites and materials. Conservation may also be focused on the maintenance and protection of natural water and soil resources. Recommendations for these types of projects may include mitigation for things like soil erosion on riverbanks, the approval of planned ground-disturbing construction, planting of trees or shrubs, and installation of fences, pipeline, or troughs.  Plateau has completed many conservation projects including those focused on riparian efforts and those conducted through the Palouse Conservation District.
