Threatened & Endangered Species Surveys in the Rocky Mountain & Plains Region
Grouse Mountain provides comprehensive Threatened & Endangered (T&E) species surveys to support compliance with the Endangered Species Act and regional conservation strategies. Our biologists conduct targeted field surveys and habitat assessments across Wyoming and the surrounding states, helping clients meet regulatory requirements while avoiding costly project delays.
When projects are sited near potential habitat for protected species, early identification is essential. Missteps in species evaluation can result in regulatory violations, halted projects, or long-term mitigation requirements. We help clients identify T&E concerns early in the process and build proactive strategies to avoid impacts and streamline approvals with USFWS, BLM, and other agencies.
