Surveys for state and federally protected species in California are essential to ensure compliance with your project. We are qualified to conduct surveys for the following special-status species:

• Point Arena mountain beaver
• Foothill yellow-legged frog
• California/Northern red-legged frogs
• Red-bellied newt
• Northwestern pond turtle
• Northern spotted owl
• American goshawk
• Migratory birds
• Mojave desert tortoise
• Other Invertebrates

A comprehensive evaluation of biological resources within your project area. It would include:

• A desktop review of sensitive species likely to occur
• Thorough site analysis and habitat assessment
• Special-status species surveys (as needed)
• Mapping of nearby biological resources
• Identification of regulatory considerations and constraints
• Avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures
• Suitable documentation to include in planning and permitting processes

We can help ensure your project proceeds efficiently while meeting regulations and protecting sensitive biological resources.

• Pre-construction site assessments and habitat evaluations
• Sensitive species surveys (as needed)
• Ecological awareness trainings
• Exclusionary fencing recommendations
• Biological monitoring during and post-construction activities
• On-call support to address unforeseen biological issues

If you are a property owner or someone involved in escrow, this can provide an early understanding of how biological factors may affect a site. It would include a summary statement of:

• A biological desktop review of sensitive species data likely to occur
• Site visit and habitat classification
• Identifying any developmental restraints or opportunities
• An outline of prospective work moving forward

Whether you're preparing a new Timber Harvest Plan (THP), refining an existing plan, or addressing regulatory requirements, this consultation will give you guidance tailored for your property goals.

We can develop and implement strategies to help restore degraded areas, help control invasive species, and promote the recovery of California's native flora and fauna.
