Preliminary Ecological Assessments

Informed Decisions from the Ground Up

Every successful land project begins with a deep understanding of the existing conditions. Our Preliminary Ecological Assessments (PEAs) provide a critical, science-based overview of your property's environmental assets and potential constraints. This service is the essential first step for de-risking your project and making sound decisions, whether for land acquisition, development, or conservation.

By identifying key ecological features—such as wetlands, sensitive habitats, and the potential presence of protected species—early in the process, you can avoid costly delays and regulatory hurdles. Our assessments deliver a clear, concise report that summarizes the site's ecological character, highlights areas of concern, and provides actionable recommendations for your next steps.

Our approach combines thorough desktop analysis of existing data with a meticulous on-site inspection. This allows us to provide a comprehensive and cost-effective evaluation, ensuring you have the critical information needed to proceed with confidence.

Key Components Include:

• Desktop Data Review: We analyze public records, aerial maps, and ecological databases to build a baseline.
• Initial Site Visit: Our experts conduct a thorough walkover to observe and document existing habitats.
• Habitat & Vegetation Mapping: We identify and delineate the major plant communities on your property.
• Listed Species Assessment: We evaluate the potential for protected wildlife and plants to occur on site.
• Actionable Summary Report: You receive a clear report detailing our findings and professional recommendations.
