Research and Technical Writing Sevrices

Taara Environmental provides technical research and writing services. Past projects have ranged from conducting surveys and writing reports, to in-depth scientific research projects, to grant and proposal writing.

We are also available to provide scientific reviews of environmental assessments, particularly hydroelectric developments.

Recent projects include:

  • Creation of fact sheets for public consultation
  • Scientific review of a run-of-the-river hydroelectric dam proposal
  • User survey, report, and presentation for the Land Trust Alliance of BC's "BC Lands in Trust Registry"
  • Numerous grant and proposals for various NGOs

Mr. Durand has recently completed an ecological research project that described habitat requirements of the endangered Oregon forestsnail (Allogona townsendiana). To date, he has collected ecological information from over 600 occurrences of the snail from throughout the Fraser Valley.
