Native Plant Nursery General Botanical Assessments

General Botanical Assessments

Central Coast Wilds will conduct botanical surveys and habitat assessments to assist clients in meeting federal, state, and local environmental guidelines. We use standard methodologies to gather vegetation information, including grid surveys, point-quarter, and random transect analysis of populations and multivariate community analysis. We assess project impacts and propose mitigation measures to mitigate project’s impacts on native species and habitat.

Rare & Endangered Plant Surveys

Our team conducts focused botanical surveys for state and federally listed species, candidate species, and species of special concern. We utilize currently accepted methodologies endorsed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the California Native Plant Society, and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to identify the presence of sensitive species. We complete impact assessments and design species-specific mitigation plans to mitigate project impacts.
