Biological Resources

Our biological services team provides technical support for all project phases. Staff expertise includes botany, wildlife, wetland delineation, aquatic ecology, fisheries, and arboriculture.

We conduct terrestrial, aquatic, and marine habitat and impact assessments; surveys for native fish, amphibians/reptiles, and invertebrates; assessments for aquatic habitat (e.g., spawning/breeding habitat); reconnaissance and protocol surveys for special-status plants, terrestrial and aquatic wildlife species; nesting bird surveys; and wetland assessments and jurisdictional delineations. We prepare and deliver environmental training programs and biological monitoring for construction, maintenance, and operations crews. We develop and implement terrestrial and aquatic avoidance and mitigation measures, including erosion control.

Surf to Snow biologists are experienced working with commercial firms, federal agencies, utilities, transportation agencies, and local Districts and municipalities.

We add value to our clients with biologists cross-trained to address both natural resource and stormwater compliance for projects.
