Botanical, Ecological, & Wildlife Inventory Surveys
Botanical, Ecological, & Wildlife Inventory Surveys
You can't manage what you don't measure. A professional ecological survey is the foundational first step for any serious land management, restoration, or conservation project.
While competitors may offer simple "biologist site visits," we provide a level of scientific detail that is unmatched. As expert field botanists and ecologists with extensive experience in systematic surveys, we can identify and catalog the full spectrum of your land's biological assets.
One-Day Botanical Survey
One-Day Botanical Survey
Starting at $500 (Standalone), or starting at $250 (as an add-on to a Wildlife Management Plan or Site Visit)
This service provides a rapid assessment of your property's dominant flora. Our expert botanist will conduct one-day survey to identify the most common trees, shrubs, and wildflowers, and will also catalog any fungi encountered.
Please note: A one-day survey provides a "point-in-time" snapshot of your land. It will not capture all species, as many plants (especially rare ones) are only visible at certain times of the year.
Comprehensive Wildlife & Deer Herd Camera Survey
Comprehensive Wildlife & Deer Herd Camera Survey
Starting at $750
Why get a simple count when you can get a full strategic analysis? Unlike competitors who split this into two different services, our standard camera survey is a single, comprehensive package that meets your tax compliance needs and provides the expert deer herd analysis you need to manage your property.
This service follows a rigorous protocol, establishing baited, infrared camera stations at a scientific density (e.g., 1 camera per 100-150 acres) for 10-14 days. This density allows for a statistically sound analysis of your herd.
Our All-Inclusive Camera Survey package includes:
Our All-Inclusive Camera Survey package includes:
Full-Service Deployment: A professional will establish and maintain baited, infrared camera stations for a 10-14 day period. We use a variety of baits and lures to attract a wide range of wildlife.
Expert Ecological Analysis: We personally review all images to identify all species (from songbirds to predators) and conduct an in-depth analysis of your deer herd, including:
Population Estimates
Buck-to-Doe Ratios
Fawn Recruitment Rates
General Health and Age Structure of Bucks
A Detailed Report (Digital & Physical): You receive a comprehensive report with a full species list, all herd data, key photos, GIS mapping of camera locations, and a portfolio of notable animals of interest.
Scientific Harvest Recommendations: Based on the data, we provide clear, actionable recommendations for harvest quotas to help you meet your specific herd management goals.
Tax Compliance Documentation: The final report serves as official documentation to satisfy the "Census" requirement for your Wildlife Management Valuation.
This survey is best conducted from August to October to most accurately assess herd structure.
Invasive Species Mapping & Surveys
Invasive Species Mapping & Surveys
Starting at $500
Invasive species can degrade wildlife habitat, reduce forage for livestock, and drastically lower the ecological value of your land. An effective control strategy doesn't start with a sprayer; it starts with a map.
We provide expert-led surveys to identify, catalog, and map the invasive species on your property, giving you the critical data needed to build a smart, cost-effective management plan.
Invasive Plant Mapping: Our primary focus is on botanical invaders. We conduct thorough, on-the-ground surveys to create detailed GIS maps of invasive plant populations (e.g., King Ranch Bluestem, Ligustrum, Chinaberry, Huisache), noting their location and density.
Invasive Animal Surveys: While our primary mapping focus is botanical, we can also conduct surveys to document the presence, location, and estimated numbers of invasive animal species, including wild hogs, aoudad, and axis deer.
A comprehensive invasive species map is the essential first step for any successful brush management or restoration plan, saving you time and money by focusing control efforts where they will have the greatest impact.
Rare, Threatened, & Endangered Species Surveys
Rare, Threatened, & Endangered Species Surveys
This high-level service is essential for serious conservation planning, due diligence, or establishing an ecological baseline. We provide focused, expert-led surveys to identify and map target species and delineate critical habitat on your property.
Our methodology is scientific and thorough. We use an intuitive-controlled survey protocol—identifying high-potential habitats and focusing intensive search efforts in those areas—to maximize efficiency and accuracy.
Targeted Species Surveys (Plants & Animals): We conduct systematic surveys for specific state-listed or federally-listed rare, threatened, or endangered (RTE) species, providing a verifiable record of their presence on your land.
Habitat Delineation & Mapping: We identify, delineate, and map the precise boundaries of potential or occupied habitat for target RTE species (both plants and animals). This allows you to make proactive, data-driven decisions for conservation and land management.
Other Specialized Wildlife Surveys
Other Specialized Wildlife Surveys
For landowners with more specific inventory goals, we offer a range of advanced surveys that go beyond standard camera traps. These are quoted on a case-by-case basis.
Herpetological Surveys (Reptile & Amphibian): With extensive experience in herpetology, we conduct systematic surveys using transects, cover boards, and other methods to build a true baseline of your property's reptile and amphibian diversity.
Avian (Bird) Surveys: We offer targeted counts for specific game birds (such as quail) as well as general songbird surveys (using point counts or transects) to create a comprehensive property checklist.
Small Mammal Surveys: Using formal trapping grids for rodents, shrews, and other small mammals.
Nocturnal (Spotlighting) Surveys: Using vehicle-based or walking spotlighting transects to census nocturnal animal activity.
Insect & Arthropod Surveys: We conduct scientific insect inventories using a variety of methods, including pitfall traps (for ground-dwelling insects) and Nocturnal Insect Surveys (UV Light Traps) to catalog your property's moth and invertebrate diversity.
Comprehensive Floristic Inventory
Comprehensive Floristic Inventory
Starting at $1,200
This is our premier botanical service. We will conduct multiple visits to your property throughout the year (e.g., spring, summer, and fall) to create a truly comprehensive inventory of your plant and fungal life.
What you get: A complete, voucher-quality species list, plant community maps, and identification of all rare, sensitive, or economically important plants. This is the gold standard for conservation easements, academic research, and large-scale restoration.
Premier All-Taxa Inventory (Full Flora & Fauna Survey)
Premier All-Taxa Inventory (Full Flora & Fauna Survey)
Starting at $2,500
This is our most comprehensive, premier service for the landowner who wants a complete, year-long scientific baseline of all life on their property. We will conduct multiple, intensive surveys across all four seasons to catalog the full diversity of your land.
This all-inclusive package combines all of our survey services:
Full Flora (Plants & Fungi): Includes the Comprehensive Floristic Inventory—multiple visits throughout the year to create a complete catalog of all plant and fungal species.
Full Fauna (Animals): Includes our entire suite of wildlife surveys:
Comprehensive Wildlife & Deer Herd Survey (Camera Traps)
Herpetological (Reptile & Amphibian) Surveys
Avian (Bird) Surveys
Small Mammal Surveys
Nocturnal (Spotlighting) Surveys

This is the gold standard for high-level conservation planning, due diligence, or establishing a definitive ecological baseline.
