Allen and Associates offers a broad array of natural resource services to assist clients in their project needs. Tailoring project needs to the requirements of the client, Allen and Associates combines quality planning, with efficient field surveys and sampling, to produce high quality service results.

All staff members are highly qualified professionals, with proven credentials and experience. Associates have demonstrated expertise in ecological investigations, ranging from standard environmental review (ER) to environmental assessment (EA) and environmental impact study (EIS) levels of complexity.

Professional relationships developed with personnel in federal and state regulatory agencies in the US, acquired over a decade, facilitate effective cooperation.
