Ecological Monitoring (Assessment and Monitoring)
Understand dynamic ecological systems before and after development.
We deliver cost-effective, easily interpretable wildlife and vegetation assessments to mitigate and assess the impacts of your projects, and fully realize the ecological potential of your places.
Multi-dimensional assessments made simple
Our ecological consultants use scientifically rigorous environmental monitoring and assessment systems to understand disturbances to pre-development ecosystems, or measure the progress of ecological restoration projects. We use field assessment data with ArcGIS and R software to efficiently conduct spatial and statistical analysis.
From riparian (riverbank) vegetation, to old growth forest, to wetland restoration, we bring the right tools and experience.
We take dozens of protocols into consideration including:
- Marsh Monitoring Program
- Acoustic bat surveys
- Breeding bird surveys
- Ecological Monitoring and Assessment Network
- Ecological Land Classification (ELC) certification
- Tree risk assessment standards
- Ontario Wetland Evaluation System (OWES)
- Butternut Health Assessment (BHA)
We work at all scales and timelines. Our satisfied customers include single assessments and decade-long monitoring commissions.
