Rare Plant Surveys

Current botanical survey protocols require identification of plants to a level necessary to determine its rarity and listing status. In some cases, a plant’s characteristics that separates them from species in the same family are only visible (by the naked eye, or by microscope) only at specific times of the year, and typically coincides with that plant’s blooming period. Contact us to find out the best time to conduct plant surveys.

Window of Opportunity: March–September (depending on optimal flowering period of potentially occurring species; multiple site visits may be necessary)
