Natural Heritage Evaluation Services
Environmental Consultants Specializing in the Preparation of Natural Heritage Evaluations Across Ontario
What is a Natural Heritage Evaluation? A Natural Heritage Evaluation (NHE) is an assessment tool for characterizing the natural environment. This report may be requested by a planning authority in Ontario to review possible environmental impacts from a development application.
An NHE will confirm the presence and extent of natural features, and outline an appropriate strategy to mitigate the effects of development.
Aster Environmental provides Natural Heritage Evaluation services across Ontario. We specialize in NHE reports for approvals under the Greenbelt Plan, Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, and Niagara Escarpment Plan. We have prepared numerous NHE reports in local jurisdictions such as King, Caledon, Clarington, Richmond Hill, Uxbridge, Stouffville, Aurora, Scugog, Durham, and Northumberland.
We guide our clients through the process from start to finish. Unlike many larger companies, we provide a personalized service without the big price tag.
Call today and speak directly with a qualified ecologist. We will answer any initial questions and provide you with advice and a quote at no cost.
Q: Does completion of an NHE guarantee approval of my application?
A: We strive to work collaboratively with clients and approval agencies to seek solutions. Our work receives consistent agency approvals in jurisdictions across Ontario.
Q: How much does an NHE cost?
A: The cost for this type of work relates directly to the scope required by the approval authority. We work closely with approval authorities to determine an acceptable scope of work that balances the needs of all parties. Our costs are highly competitive and flexible.
Q: How long will it take to receive my completed NHE?
A: In some cases, an NHE can be completed based on a single field survey. We prioritize the schedules of our clients, often offering a turn-around time of weeks, not months.
We welcome any and all questions regarding the process of completing a Natural Heritage Evaluation. Send us an email or give us a call to speak directly with a qualified Ecologist!
