Case Study

Environmental Services for The Conservation Center for Wildlife Care

FCS prepared technical studies (cultural resources, biological resources, air quality, and noise) in support of The Lawrence Ellison Foundation (LEF) original application submittal in 2013 and also reviewed provided comments on the County’s 2014 EIR on behalf of the LEF. Following the unanimous approval of the project, FCS is now providing biological, regulatory, project management, and entitlement processing services to support the proposed Conservation Center for Wildlife Care Project in Santa Clara County.

As an extension of FCS’s Biological Resources Management services, our experienced ISA-certified arborists help you navigate tree assessment, inventory, protection and management plans, project due diligence, and more. We provide expertise in the field to survey tree inventories, determine overall tree health, diagnosis, tree selection, construction monitoring, and more, all while coordinating with CEQA, NEPA, and other local, state, and federal guidelines.

We understand the various challenges that our clients often face. As a result, we provide our clients with environmental compliance services that extend into all areas of project needs and developments. These efforts are made possible by our experienced ISA certified staff who offer expertise conducting field work to survey tree inventories, determine overall tree health, diagnosis, tree selection and structural integrity, construction monitoring, diagnosis, and more.
