Dougan & Associates

Natural heritage and design services

Clients seeking expert natural heritage and design services choose Dougan & Associates based on our reputation for integrating science-based analysis and design and for our ability to guide them through complex environmental management issues. Depending on the project, we work independently or collaborate with our network of long-standing associates (academic, consulting, and industry professionals) to assign multi-disciplinary teams tailored to the specific needs and complexities of each project. GIS has been a crucial component in many of D&A’s projects over the past decade, used to map field data and to conduct spatial analyses. We also collect field data using GPS/mobile devices and incorporate this information into our GIS maps and databases. Our staff are experienced in converting between ArcGIS and AutoCAD platforms, which provides flexibility in data integration. In complex projects, the development of a database is used to organize and analyze large amounts of data. Primarily focused on Terrestrial Ecology, these projects have ranged in scale from site specific to regional with a diversity of clients including municipal, provincial, and federal governments as well as the development community.
