We have over 18 years of experiencing working in NEPA/CEQA compliance and have spent this time developing relationships with landowners, developers, land managers and resource agencies. This has enabled us to develop a thorough understanding of the complexities of working through environmental permitting and compliance issues from multiple perspectives. We view our role as that of a moderator, bringing cutting-edge science to the table to assist in brokering agreements that serve the needs of all parties while maximizing the benefits to species and resource conservation.
