It’s Time to Schedule Sensitive Species Surveys for 2019!

HELIX Environmental Planning’s team of over 40 biologists is kicking off the sensitive plant and animal spring survey season. This year’s abundant rain is resulting in impressive plant growth, and likely a good year for surveying. Our staff, located throughout California, holds federal and state authorizations that qualify HELIX biologists to conduct a wide variety of focused species surveys.  We provide expertise to our clients in all aspects of biological consulting, including focused species surveys, biological studies, jurisdictional delineations, regulatory permitting, construction monitoring, and habitat restoration.

To ensure your project stays on track, contact Shelby Howard, Biology Division Manager, at 619-462-1515 or ShelbyH@helixepi.com to determine which surveys are required and when they should be conducted so you can avoid costly delays.
