Ecology consulting for California projects, from first survey to final permit.

Bond Ecological pairs a principal ecologist with a vetted network of specialists across the state to deliver biological assessments, CEQA and permitting support, and habitat restoration that holds up in review and on the ground.

CEQA & permitting Biological surveys Habitat restoration
How we help

Senior attention on every project, with the specialists each site requires.

Whether you are entitling a development, managing acreage, or protecting a place for the long term, you work directly with the ecologist responsible for the outcome, backed by the right experts for your habitat, species, and agencies.

Developers & design teams

Early constraints analysis, biological assessments, and permits sequenced to protect your entitlement schedule.

Landowners, ranches & farms

Practical plans for oak woodlands, creeks, wetlands, and rangeland you want to manage well or improve.

Public agencies & utilities

Independent assessments, CEQA technical studies, and compliance monitoring that stand up to scrutiny.

Land trusts & conservation groups

Baseline documentation, stewardship plans, and grant-ready restoration designs for protected lands.

Services

Two practice areas, one accountable team.

Most projects begin with a question about what is on the site and what the regulations require. Many continue into restoring and managing the land itself.

Why Bond Ecological

Field-first. Plain-spoken. Accountable to the outcome.

  1. 01

    We walk the ground, in season

    Databases and aerials are a starting point. Defensible findings come from the right protocol, at the right time of year, by someone qualified to run it.

  2. 02

    The right specialist, not the nearest one

    Rare plant botanist, herpetologist, wetland scientist, arborist, GIS analyst: we bring in the expert your site and your agency reviewer actually need.

  3. 03

    Through to the finish

    We stay engaged through agency comments, construction monitoring, planting, and multi-year monitoring until the obligation is closed out.

  1. Talk it through

    A short call about your site, your schedule, and the decision in front of you. No charge.

  2. Scope and fee

    A written scope with methods, survey windows, deliverables, and a fixed or not-to-exceed fee.

  3. Fieldwork and analysis

    Site visits, protocol surveys, mapping, and a clear read of the regulatory requirements that apply.

  4. Deliver and follow through

    Reports, permit packages, or restoration plans, plus agency and contractor support until it is done.
