Our Services

Our Services

Consistent management and monitoring of conserved properties are the keys to good stewardship. Our goal is to build positive relationships with effective and efficient monitoring as well as detailed and timely reporting. 

Sweetwater Ecological works to support conservation efforts in conjunction with non-profit organizations, landowners and managers, and federal, state and local governments.

Baseline Documentation Reports

We have a proven track record of collaborating with landowners across Wyoming to write baseline reports that set the stage for a successful partnership between the land trust and the landowner. 

Conservation Easement Monitoring

As experienced easement monitors, we understand the importance of maintaining the positive relationships that your organization has built with landowners. This is our top priority while providing you with timely, accurate and detailed reporting.

Remote Monitoring

Integrating remote monitoring into your program provides greater flexibility and can be used in conjunction with ground visits. As a sole means of monitoring it is cost effective for those easement properties that are remote and/or see little year-to-year activity.

GIS and Mapping

We provide a wide array of mapping services for conservation easement and real estate due diligence as well as science review, threat analysis, and land use. We can create custom maps for grants, philanthropy, marketing, and presentations.

Program Design

Sweetwater Ecological can help you design a cost-effective and efficient monitoring program to fit your needs. In addition, we are the technology gurus. We have experience using an integrated mobile platform for on-the-ground reporting, mapping, photos and waypoints. 

Property Assessment

For realtors and buyers of ranch land or other rural properties, Sweetwater Ecological can provide a GIS analysis and mapping of wildlife ranges, migration, surrounding land use or any other items specific to your needs. 

“The question is not what you look at,
but what you see.”
