Biological Services
SWCA's biological science services are rooted in a deep understanding of animals, plants, and microbes as well as the terrestrial and aquatic habitats where they are found. Our wide variety of biological services includes locating and identifying species, assessing habitat conditions, determining activities that may affect species, developing mitigation strategies, and monitoring those strategies to determine their short- and long-term effectiveness.
