Our biological surveying services include various wildlife and botanical surveys and inventories for rare, threatened, and endangered species, invasive species and noxious weeds, and monitoring implementations. We have experience constructing and implementing a wide array of vegetation and animal monitoring protocols. ARK Consulting also provides regulatory assistance regarding Endangered Species Act (ESA), National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) compliance. We can provide biological assessments, biological habitat evaluations, noxious weed risk assessments, rangeland grazing plans, prescribed burn plans, and wildlife management plans. We conduct our planning and analyses by collecting accurate and relevant biological data for project planners in a timely and cost-effective manner.
We have amassed experience across rangelands, mountains, deserts, and forests across North America, and although we are based in Texas, our team has worked on numerous projects across the US. We have traveled from the western Sierra Mountains in California to the eastern wetlands of South Carolina, up north to the plains of Wyoming, down to the south Texas brush country, and everywhere in between. We are ready to travel and work in any ecoregion across the globe. Our team is capable of adapting to any environment at any time of year and is prepared to serve your and your project's needs.
