Natural Resource Assessment

Efforts to protect biodiversity, minimize environmental impacts, and promote sustainable land use are increasing. To support these efforts, we’ve developed an innovative approach to evaluate biodiversity values at the facility or portfolio level and assess operational risks to biodiversity that may require mitigation.

Companies today must consider environmental and social impacts in every decision, especially for complex projects in remote or sensitive areas. Our team of experts helps design and deliver practical, buildable solutions that avoid, minimize, and mitigate potential impacts while maintaining financial viability.

Our team provides strategic and technical leadership on Natural Resources Damage Assessments led by federal and state Natural Resource Trustees. We develop injury assessment strategies, quantify natural resource damages, and perform valuations of compensatory restoration projects for contaminated sites.

We leverage our extensive experience and technologies in ecological assessments, including fisheries surveys, habitat mapping, predictive modeling, species surveys, food web studies, ecotoxicology, and wetland evaluations, to assess and manage the potential impacts of land development, infrastructure, and remediation projects.

We design and implement adaptive programs to establish baseline conditions and monitor changes in key physical, biological, and chemical performance metrics following remedial and development projects. We apply data-driven decision-making to efficiently scale future efforts based on the results of previous monitoring events.

Wetland ecosystems and the regulations protecting them are complex. Our team provides strategic guidance from site evaluations and field surveys through permitting, mitigation, construction oversight, and project closeout, providing nature-based, cost-effective solutions that promote biodiversity.
