Protected Species Assessment and Permitting

We access property for the presence of State and Federal protected species. We commonly work with gopher tortoises, ospreys and bald eagles.

Wetland Assessment and Delineation

Using GIS, we evaluate historic infrared and color aerials, contours, soils, National Wetland Inventory (NWI) and topographic maps to interpret the extent of State and Federal jurisdictional wetlands. We then delineate, GPS and map the limits of those wetlands in the field.

Local, State and Federal Environmental Permitting

We commonly work with local Counties, Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), St. Johns River Water Management District, and the Army Corps of Engineers to obtain permits for various activities affecting wetlands.

Dock and Dredge Permitting

We can assess and site the dock alignment and obtain State and Federal permits. We can also access and permit mechanical and hydraulic dredging.

Mitigation Planning and Design

When impacts to jurisdictional wetland occur we develop a comprehensive mitigation plan which can include wetland preservation, restoration, creation or purchase of wetland mitigation bank credits.

Land Management Services

We work closely with our clients to meet any objectives related to wildlife utilization, silvicultural practices, wildfire prevention, and exotic or nuisance species control.  Tools that we have at our disposal include but are not limited to a burn team with 2 certified burn bosses, a fully licensed timber crew, and a wildlife biologist with experience manipulating habitat for wildlife.
