NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Multiple-use natural resource management, as a land management philosophy, recognizes that all natural resources are connected through a complex series of relationships.

An integrated approach to land management is necessary to recognize and understand these relationships so that management objectives can be accomplished while undesirable impacts to other resources are predicted and mitigated.

At SEC, our professional staff has extensive experience in forest, wildlife, soil, and watershed management, as well as many other fields. This expertise enables us to design and implement resource surveys for the development of ecologically sound management plans.

In addition, we use state-of-the-art computer mapping and graphics programs, such as AutoCAD and ArcView, to graphically display pertinent date for ease of use and project implementation. The list below provides examples of the types of projects we can implement for you.
