ECOTONE Environmental is comprised of a core group of professional and experienced wetland, wildlife, and vegetation biologists specializing in:
Wetlands play an important role in the landscape providing habitat for a wide diversity of plants and animals, including rare plants and wildlife Species at Risk. All waterbodies in Alberta are owned by the province, regardless of whether they occur on public or private land. Activities impacting wetlands are regulated under the Water Act. An approval under the Water Act is required when wetlands are disturbed or lost due to a proposed development.
ECOTONE’s wetland group includes experienced Qualified Wetland Science Practitioners (QWSPs) who routinely complete Wetland Assessment and Impact Reports (WAIRs), Wetland Assessment and Impact Forms (WAIFs), and Code of Practice forms following the most up to date regulations and guidelines released by Alberta Environment and Parks. WAIRs are the main technical reports required to apply for an approval under the Water Act.
