Calendar
At FRI Ecological Services, we work year-round to ensure you have the data you need for your reports. Effective planning is crucial in meeting project deadlines. Our calendar provides an at-a-glance summary of the assessments we conduct and the associated timing windows to help better plan your project.
Habitat surveys can be conducted at any time of the year given that the habitat feature is visible. However, confirming the use of a habtiat feature can only be surveyed when the target species are expected to be present.
For example, suitable Massasauga gestation habtiat can be assessed during any snow-free season. However, the use of the habtiat can only be surveyed between June through early August over two consecutive years.
