Tree and Vegetation Surveys
Expert flora identification, classification, and assessment to inform your projects.
Tree and vegetation classification underpin municipal natural heritage planning, private land development, and conservation. From site-scale characterizations to landscape-scale studies, we deliver clear analysis of terrestrial and wetland systems.
Refined methods for accurate survey results
Over the last 30 years we have refined out protocols and scientific methodology for tree and vegetation surveys, including:
- Orthophotography analysis
- Field surveys to determine plant species, classify vegetation communities, and delineate their boundaries
- Refining species lists
- Mapping vegetation communities using ArcGIS
- Review of relevant policy documents to determine opportunities and constraints
Our integrated team offers a diversity of specialized services including:
- Botanical surveys
- Ecological Land Classification (ELC)
- Wetland evaluation and delineation (using the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System)
- Tree health and risk assessments (including Butternut Health Assessments)
- Arborist surveys
- Conservation and species at risk (SAR) assessments
We champion multi-dimensional assessments of the ecology of each place.
Whether independently required or as part of a larger project, we also offer diverse environmental assessments, management and stewardship plans, natural heritage system studies, and support for conservation, transportation and urban forestry projects.
