Reptile & Amphibian Survey
Amphibian and reptile surveys are often performed as part of aquatic and terrestrial surveys or wildlife inventories at EnviroScience. These surveys effectively detect the presence or absence of endangered, threatened, or rare species at a proposed development project.
With the unprecedented decline of many reptiles and amphibians, more species are likely to soon be listed under the federal Endangered Species Act or state regulations. As this occurs, the importance of herpetological surveys will only increase.
The herpetologists at EnviroScience have scientific collector’s permits or are on state or federal agency lists of qualified herptile surveyors. Our herpetologists are experts at delineating habitat, conducting presence/absence surveys, monitoring, and habitat mitigation.
Before breaking ground on your next project, protect your efforts and the environment by entrusting EnviroScience to help safeguard your plans under applicable requirements and regulations.
Below are just some of the species for which our herpetologists are qualified to survey:
