WildlifeWildlife is an integral part of the landscape and provides ecological value for ecotourism, hunters, and anglers, and it provides indicators of environmental quality. The presence of federal or state protected wildlife can also slow a project’s momentum. Florida is home to more than 50 threatened or endangered species and provides habitat for countless migratory birds that are also protected or regulated. Inwood’s staff of experienced wildlife biologists and ecologists are familiar with the unique habitat requirements, survey methods, and regulatory requirements for protected species in Florida. Inwood prides itself on maintaining a positive and productive working relationship with regulatory agencies due to regular contact during projects. We evaluate each project based on decades of experience in the field and having worked proactively with regulatory agencies to realize our clients’ goals while meeting all federal and state criteria for wildlife. |

WetlandsFor people and wildlife, wetlands provide ecological value including water quality treatment, stormwater attenuation, and habitat for protected species. Federal and state wetland regulations are constantly evolving and typically require applicants to avoid and minimize wetland impacts when possible. Inwood’s team of experienced wetland scientists can delineate wetlands, identify potential permitting challenges, and offer cost-effective solutions that meet client expectations and regulatory requirements while reducing project costs and adverse impacts to wetlands. |
