Sadly summer is over! Just a quick reminder that the window for Wetland Assessments is going to start closing soon. We can often get out in most of September to complete the assessments, and sometimes into October if it’s a warm fall, but as soon as the vegetation dies we can no longer do them. So let's get your wetland assessments done before window closes for the year. Too late, too late, will be the cry, when the wetland season passes you by! #wetlands #environmentalconsulting #environmentalassessments #wetlandassessments
