Natural Resources and Environmental Permitting
Our natural resource scientists help preserve, protect, and/or enhance the natural and built environment’s value by working as a part of multi-discipline teams or directly for public or private clients. Our scientists monitor the latest changes to local, state, and federal permitting requirements, and they maintain strong relationships with permitting agencies to facilitate quick review times. Our collaborative approach benefits both our clients and the design process, while contributing to the long-term value of our region’s natural resources.
