RES provides a variety of wildlife and environmental consulting services. Our biologists strive to be in the forefront of wildlife and habitat research and management.

RES is one of the only companies led by Certified Wildlife Biologists that incorporates into its assessments (1) considerations pertaining to both the biology and behavioral ecology of wildlife species, (2) modern range and weed science, and (3) modern wildlife and vegetative management principles. Our understanding of the interplay between these aspects of natural resources management is what separates our assessments from those of many other firms. RES produces assessments that reflect the actual habitat characteristics of a given area in light of its long-term conservation or management potential. It is only by means of this type of assessment that a decision-maker can develop effective conservation and management strategies—strategies that not only yield positive, practical results on the ground, but that are scientifically defensible. We believe that RES is the only consultant that routinely develops the type of baseline habitat inventory, technical evaluation, and analysis of results that ensures the long-term success of management recommendations, whether in terms of biological or political realities.

One of our specialties is a comprehensive evaluation of grassland health and potential function. To do so, our team evaluates the practical realities of developing and/or maintaining a sustaining cattle operation in conjunction with wildlife conservation and other multiple use directives for a given property.

We are also very well known for our work with prairie dogs. RES biologists are in the forefront of prairie dog and shortgrass prairie research and management. We have built a solid reputation in nearly every aspect of prairie dog research: biology, behavior, habitat characteristics, population analysis and monitoring, and associated species identification and management. We are also leaders in the application of practical management techniques including live-trapping and donation to wildlife recovery programs.
