THREATENED & ENDANGERED SPECIES
We at DuBois and Associates specializes in the assessment, study, surveying, and recording of threatened and endangered species throughout the mid-Atlantic region. Potential development areas often lie within threatened and endangered species habitat, which may result in a significant amount of study and planning in order for development to continue.
VERNAL POOL SAMPLING
Vernal pools are ephemeral areas of ponding that support critical breeding habitat for both common and imperiled amphibian species. Biologists at DuBois and Associates conduct amphibian calling surveys, egg mass surveys, and larval sampling surveys to document obligate vernal pool amphibians. This is critical in the development planning stage may be regulated under certain state regulations.
