Dynamic Field Survey Designs
We have extensive experience with both terrestrial and aquatic environmental research and field surveys. An objective focused approach to environmental and biological components of projects can be difficult to navigate. We process your scope of work and get our assessments and surveys completed in a timely and professional manner that suits the needs of the project, client and regulatory requirements.
Contact us if you have a project that needs special development and we can help create a dynamic field survey methodology that fulfills the need of the research or regulatory objective.
Non-Lethal Carnivore Deterring
Contracted Wildlife Biologist Phil Johnston is an expert carnivore tracker and specializes in reducing human-predator conflict by implementing non-lethal measures to deter carnivores from visiting human-inhabited areas and killing or threatening livestock and domestic animals.
