Wildlife Surveys

The Shasta Land Management Consultants Wildlife Biologist has prepared many spotted owl surveys, sensitive species surveys, and biological evaluations for projects on National Forest land in relation to timber harvest, road construction, and mineral development.

Shasta Land Management Consultants offers Private Consulting Biologist (PCB) services. The California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) recognizes PCBs as being qualified to evaluate potential impacts to the northern spotted owl per Board of Forestry Rules and the Federal Endangered Species Act and they have agreed to review and respond to PCB Consultation Worksheets within five working days of receipt. PCB Consultation Worksheets are equivalent to NSO Checklists ordinarily prepared by agency biologists; one of these forms must be submitted to CDF prior to approval of any THP in the range of the NSO. Persons in need of NSO consultations will realize significant time savings by retaining PCBs to prepare and submit the required documents.
