Natural Resource Planning
ICF Jones & Stokes was established in the belief that rigorous science and careful planning are central to protecting, conserving, and developing our natural resources. Our Resource Planning Group brings a range of expertise, from wildlife biologists to plant ecologists, to producing practical sustainable solutions for resource planning challenges. We are dedicated to providing the highest level of scientific expertise to every project, designing practical solutions that address current and future environmental issues.

We have been involved in some of the most compelling resource management issues in the West and have assisted clients on such landmark projects as the Headwater Forest Reserve on California’s North Coast. Below we list some of our full range of natural resource planning services:
  • Environmental documents, from initial studies to complex EIRs and EISs
