Established in 1970, Ecoplans Limited pioneered the integration of natural and physical sciences, with environmental planning, environmental management and environmental impact assessment practices. For almost 40 years, Ecoplans has been providing a multi-disciplinary, holistic approach to addressing environmental concerns. As the company has grown from a small group of professionals to a staff of over 60, we have managed to maintain our ‘small company’ atmosphere of teamwork and collaboration and our high level of client service and satisfaction.

Ecoplans takes pride in providing objective and comprehensive assessments of the full range of natural features and environmental constraints relevant to a specific project. Our team of experienced ecologists, biologists, planners, landscape architects, hydrogeologists, and water resources engineers routinely work in close collaboration with each other and with design engineers to provide integrated solutions to environmental issues. Ecoplans also endeavors to stay abreast of the latest research and technologies that relate to our work, with a focus on continuous development of the environmental solutions that we recommend. This integrated and forward-thinking approach has placed Ecoplans at the forefront of the environmental consulting industry with a solid reputation across Canada.

The range of services that Ecoplans provides include: Ecological Services (wildlife biology, terrestrial and wetland ecology and aquatic sciences), Landscape Architecture, Environmental Planning, Hydrogeology, Environmental Site Assessment and Remediation, Environmental Inspection, Expert Testimony and Peer Review. Ecoplans also has a Water Resources Engineering group and a strong Geographic Information System (GIS) department.
