ERC’s staff is experienced in the full range of threatened and endangered species (TES) studies including Preble’s Meadow Jumping Mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei), Ute Ladies� Tresses Orchid (Spiranthes diluvialis Sheviak) and Boreal Toad (Bufo boreas boreas). Initially desktop evaluations are preformed on a property to define species of concern and known species population boundaries. ERC then conducts field reconnaissance as part of the presence/absence screening for individual species. Results of the field evaluation are presented to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) which often results in official clearance of a property. In the event that TES are present, ERC is experienced working with the USFWS and resolving issues in a timely, efficient manner.
