The Owl Ridge Commitment
Owl Ridge is committed to providing high quality, cost effective, and responsible solutions to protect both the interest of our clients and the natural environment. We do this through recognizing the unique aspects of each project and applying our technical knowledge, innovation, sociocultural awareness, and effective communication.
Owl Ridge Natural Resource Consultants, Inc. (Owl Ridge) was formed in 2012 as a small business enterprise to provide a full range of environmental consulting services including planning, permitting, and compliance. Professionals with high levels of experience, competence, and expertise form the foundation of our business. Key staff have more than 20 years of experience in their field. Our flexible business model allows for adaptation to specific project needs by crafting the most qualified team with personal attention to our clients. Our effective use of networked senior staff and our approach to project team organization can result in cost savings for our clients. There is no need for our team to learn “on the job” at the client’s expense. In addition, our staff are recognized experts in the industry and we frequently contribute our subject-matter expertise to larger consulting firms in cooperative teaming arrangements.
