Florida Wildlife Surveys for Gopher Tortoises, Scrub-Jays, Burrowing Owls & Other Protected Species

At Environmental Consultants of Florida, we provide professional wildlife and listed species surveys to support residential and commercial development projects throughout the state. Our services help ensure full compliance with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and local permitting agencies.

We conduct protected species surveys for:

  • 🐒 Gopher Tortoises – burrow surveys, relocation permitting, and FWC coordination

  • 🐦 Florida Scrub-Jays – habitat assessments, presence/absence surveys, and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) consultation

  • πŸ¦‰ Burrowing Owls – habitat evaluations and permitting guidance

  • 🌿 Wetland-dependent and endangered species – for ERP and federal permitting

These wildlife surveys are critical for:

  • Environmental due diligence

  • Permit applications

  • Land development approvals

  • Avoiding project delays or regulatory violations

We serve landowners, homebuilders, contractors, and engineers in Lakeland, Winter Haven, North Port, Sarasota, Tampa, Orlando, St. Cloud, Wesley Chapel, and across Central and Southwest Florida.
