Celebrating Ten Years!
Excellence in Endangered Species and Ecological Sciences
Biodrawversity is a small environmental consulting and communications company that specializes in freshwater, wetland, and upland ecosystems of the New England region. Biodrawversity has provided consulting services to state and federal natural resource agencies, non-government conservation organizations, and industries for ten years. Biodrawversity remains small by design, so that strong relationships are forged with each client and each project is nurtured to its full potential. Freshwater mussel studies and science communication have been the mainstay of Biodrawversity, but Biodrawversity now offers the same level of quality for other taxonomic groups, such as dragonflies and damselflies, amphibians, reptiles, birds, plants, and ecosystems of the New England region. In addition to the combined experience of the Biodrawversity team, we have good relationships with, and routinely collaborate with, regional experts on a variety of taxa. We strive to ensure that the most qualified people are working on the most imperiled species, and we can assemble large teams with unmatched qualifications.
