Our field biologists perform presence/absence determinations, habitat assessments, and population monitoring using standardized methodologies. We maintain multiple USFWS permits and state certifications for endangered species work across southwestern ecosystems.

We develop Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plans (HMMPs) and implement restoration projects for wetlands, vernal pools, and native habitats. Our certified revegetation planners ensure compliance with agency requirements while achieving ecological recovery objectives.
