| The CEC Ecological Services Group uses a sequential approach to addressing and solving natural resource issues. This methodology has produced positive and timely results for our clients. Our senior leadership understands the regulatory climate and sensitive nature of working in and around ecosystems and develops solutions that balance science and business requirements.
Our capabilities start at the initial planning and evaluation phase; continue through risk assessment and mitigation planning; and include authorizations and permitting. In addition, our team of terrestrial, aquatic and wetlands experts work with developers, utilities, mining companies, manufacturers, industry and government and municipal agencies to help them meet their regulatory commitments. Our team also supports the development of parks, trails and recreational areas. CEC ecological specialists understand that wetlands delineations are critical to balancing project requirements with the recognition that countless species of plants and animals are dependent on wetlands for their survival. Additionally, our specialists support our clients through the performance of bat surveys, fisheries and freshwater mussel studies, invasive plant control, benthic macroinvertebrate studies, stream habitat mapping and phytoremediation.

Our team diligently follows, understands and interprets the ever-shifting regulations and newly emerging scientific advances that affect these areas of our practice.
  OUR EXPERTS identified several varieties of rare plants and monitored the status, reproductive condition, hydrology and plant community composition on the property which allowed our client to develop their site in harmony with the environment.
