Environmental

Site selection research, environmental assessment and wetland delineation are critical first steps to successful projects in site development, management, and restoration. Identifying site issues early in the land planning process expedites permitting, promotes low-impact site design and development, and protects valuable natural resources. To assist commercial and industrial developers, land management consultants, and owners of public and private lands, Sewall offers environmental site assessment, permitting design, and site development, management planning, and restoration solutions that integrate a broad range of services in engineering, geospatial, and forestry consulting. Sewall brings together professionals from multiple disciplines and perspectives to meet the unique, specific needs of our clients in government and industry.
