WILDLIFE AND VEGETATION RESOURCE SERVICES

Since 1976 we have also conducted projects for which threatened, endangered, or sensitive plants were a major concern. These projects ranged in scope from small clearance surveys for a single species to large-scale, multiple-species surveys across several states, to detailed long-term ecological studies of individual species. Furthermore, as required under the National Environmental Policy Act, most of our EIS/EA projects have included a threatened, endangered, and sensitive plant component. For many projects vegetative habitats have also been assessed for their value to wildlife. Wildlife- and vegetation-related services are listed below. Wildlife Resource and Vegetation Services:
