Threatened & Endangered Wildlife Surveys

Midwest Natural Resources has extensive experience conducting species-specific surveys and habitat assessments for federally- and state-listed wildlife species as well as Regional Forester Sensitive Species (RFSS). Our staff has documented a number of sensitive species via targeted surveys as well as incidental detections. We specialize in rare birds and Lepidoptera, but have the knowledge and expertise to survey for any taxa.
