About

We provide our clients with solutions that work—solutions that shape places, places that shape possibilities. We work with many clients—utilities, municipalities, states and countries, government agencies, corporations, institutions, developers, planners, —designing sustainable environmental solutions. Our clients are visionaries as well as pragmatists. Our solutions help their visions become real and environmentally appropriate.

Environmental solutions that work. This is the value we bring to our clients and their challenges.  Our philosophy, culture and technical expertise are what define us as a company. It is why we are leaders in ecological planning, restoration science and environmental design. It's why we have stayed together longer than any other team in our field. And why we enjoy longstanding relationships with so many clients.

Expertise

As our clients ask us to do more, as the times demand more, we offer more. It’s a logical progression. Ecosystem Sciences uses sound science coupled with innovative design and state of the art technology on each project.
