HA Capabilities & Specialties

Herpetological Associates, Inc. (HA) has offices in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida. We can provide a full range of consulting services to businesses, industries, utility companies, governmental agencies, nonprofit conservation groups, and citizen’s groups. We are a professional corporation that can help clients with habitat evaluations, plant and wildlife inventories, and environmental impact statements.

     Specific staff expertise is with federal- and state-listed endangered and threatened (E&T) plant and wildlife species. Herpetology, ornithology, and botany remain our principal areas of specialization, yet we also conduct surveys for fish, butterflies, dragonflies, and damselflies.

     In New Jersey, a majority of our work has been helping clients with the preparation of CAFRA (Coastal Area Facility Review Act) applications to the Bureau of Coastal Project Review, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and applications to the New Jersey Pinelands Commission. We have also worked for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation on the Pennsylvania Turnpike I-276 and I-95 Interchange Project, and for the City of Philadelphia at the Philadelphia International Airport. Likewise in New York we carried out E&T species surveys in Dutchess, Orange, Richmond, and Rockland Counties. Some of the major projects were E&T species surveys for the expansion of Stewart International Airport, and presence or absence surveys for Central Hudson Gas & Electric Company.

     Mitigation is an important component of our firm’s capabilities. We have pioneered the creation of artificial snake hibernacula (dens) and amphibian breeding ponds for mitigation and habitat improvement. Environmentally sensitive golf course design is a particular interest, and we have provided successful mitigation plans on several golf courses in New York, New Jersey, and Delaware dealing with E&T species protection. Additionally, we specialize in the design and implementation of wildlife management plans for both developers and nonprofit conservation groups.
