Tell me about your project

Nine questions, most of them a word each. I read every one myself and reply within two business days with likely biological issues, information gaps, and practical next steps.

A few details

Which are you?
What do you think you need?

If you are not sure, say so — it is the most common answer and a fine place to start.

Approximate coordinates are the most useful thing you can give me — with them I can pull up the property and start assessing habitat straight away, often before we speak. An address or parcel ID works too.

To get coordinates: open Google Maps, press and hold the spot on your phone (or right-click on a computer), and copy the numbers that appear.

Entirely reasonable — pending acquisitions, competitive bids and confidential infrastructure projects all come up. Tick the box and we will sort out confidentiality first. A county alone is enough to start.

This helps identify potentially applicable species, agency guidance, and project pathways.

A rough number is fine.

What prompted this?
Has anyone assessed the property before?

I use this only to answer your question. No list, no newsletter, and I do not pass it on. If you would rather just email, that works too.

What happens next

A useful first review, not a regulatory determination

From the county, acreage, project description, and aerial imagery, I can often identify whether biological work appears unlikely, whether a desktop screen may be useful, or whether a project condition or agency question needs confirmation.

If further work appears warranted, I will recommend which step fits, roughly how many hours it involves, and when it can happen. Agencies, project authorities, and counsel make the final regulatory and legal determinations.

If you are a firm

Subcontract enquiries

Tell me the counties and the season and I will send a rate sheet, certificate of insurance, W-9 and a copy of the permit. I work inside your templates and your QA process.

Timing

Spring 2027 is being booked now

Only the golden-cheeked warbler presence/absence survey is season-bound. Those visits have to fall between March 15 and June 1, so spring survey work is usually committed by February and worth raising early. Everything else — desktop screening, golden-cheeked warbler habitat assessment, nesting bird compliance, construction monitoring — happens year-round. If you are reading this in November, that is a good time to get in touch, not a bad one.
