Field Work

Contract Field Research

We love getting into the mix of research, exploration, and adventure. With a combined 45 years of fieldwork, if you need help finding populations of a species, documenting the existence of rare species, conducting transects, biological monitoring, or working with indigenous communities, we would love to strap on our boots and help.

We tend to work in remote places where getting the gear in and out is half the challenge, when the nettles are above your waist, and you're questioning your life choices. That's the field work we love.

We work with grad students, researchers, institutions, conservation organizations, and people with questions or needs as contract field specialists. We have performed extended stays with tribal communities on the Inland Plateau and the Oregon Coast.

When your project requires ridiculous access, rare species identification, or someone willing to work where standard protocols break down, we are dumb enough to say yes, and smart enough to get the job done.
