Basin Environmental Ltd.

Our #wildlifebiologists conduct wildlife sweeps and surveys throughout western Canada. Here's a peek at some recent findings during wildlife sweeps in the fall and winter 2019/2020: a small mammal den, bear tracks, and a raptor nest (unoccupied at the time of assessment). #wildlifesweep,#experiencedwildlifebiologist, #alberta, #wildlife, #environmentalconsulting,#getoutdoors, #nature, #raptornest, #dens, #westerncanada

Prairie Smoke (Geum triflorum) showing its fruiting head in late spring this year. Geum triflorum is a spring-blooming native prairie plant common in Alberta prairie landscapes, typically in healthy undisturbed habitats. #nativeprairie, #rangelandhealth, #vegetationassessments, #environmentalconsulting, #welovefieldwork

Buck Bean (Menyanthes trifoliata) typically grow in fens and bogs, and are characteristic wetland vegetation species. Our Wetland Specialists are ready for the growing season, which is just around the corner! If you need a wetland assessment for your project, contact us and we can help you out! #wetlandbiology, #wetlands, #environmentalconsulting, #summeriscoming, #fieldassessments, #wetlandassessments

The Bobcat (Lynx rufus or Felis rufus) are stealthy predators, often feeding on small animals such as rabbits, hares, and mice. We spotted this one with a feed of squirrel for breakfast. #terrifictuesday, #wildlife, #wildlifebiology, #environmentalconsulting, #wildlifebiologists

It's peak leking season in southern Alberta for sharp-tailed grouse. One of our wildlife biologists was able to spot this lek with several males displaying courtship behaviour in order to attract a mate. If your project is in the sharp-tailed grouse survey zone, you probably need a sharp-tailed grouse survey conducted by an experienced wildlife biologist. Give us a shout and we can help you! #TympanuchusThursday, #mating, #courtship, #chickendance, #wildlifesurveys, #wildlifebiology

Tree cavities like this one are excavated by woodpeckers, but are often used by other species including owls, falcons, waterfowl, bats and flying squirrels. #wildlifewednesdays, #wildwednesdays, #hireawildlifebiologist, #environmentalconsultinglife

We're excited to be at the Canadian Land Reclamation Association (CLRA) Alberta Chapter AGM and Conference this week in Red Deer. Looking forward to meeting other professionals in the industry and learning about new and emerging industry standards, practices and technology opportunities! https://www.clra.ca/events/ #conference, #AGM, #reclamation, #CLRA2019, #environmentalconsulting

Red foxes are highly adapted to human activity, likely a contributing factor why they have the 2nd largest natural distribution of any land mammal (Humans being 1st of course). This black fox, a rare variant of the red fox, was curious what our Basin field staff were up to this week. #wildlifewednesdays, #redfox, #blackfox, #rare, #vulpesvulpes, #fieldwork, #environmentalmonitoring
