Ecological consultants are often among the first professionals to assess a property prior to development. RiverStone has a comprehensive understanding of the environmental and planning elements that are critical to the success of a project. With this understanding, we ensure that the necessary studies are conducted within appropriate timeframes, avoiding costly time delays.
RiverStone’s terrestrial, wetland, and aquatic ecologists provide a full range of ecological services from general wildlife surveys to detailed inventories that assess the significance of natural features and their associated ecological function. We have extensive experience conducting radiotelemetry studies on a variety of species including snakes, turtles, and fish.
RiverStone ecologists are qualified to complete the aquatic, wetland, and terrestrial components of Level 1 and Level 2 Natural Environment Evaluations for applications for new and expanding pits and quarries. Additionally, we have the expertise necessary to conduct Natural Heritage and Water Assessments required as part of the Renewable Energy Approvals procedure.
