Natural Ecology: Supporting Construction Through Smart Environmental Solutions

At GEMS, we’ve built one of the most experienced and reliable Ecology teams supporting Ontario’s construction and land development industries. Our specialists bring extensive hands-on experience across every phase of development—from pre-design to post-construction. We understand the real-world pressures you face on-site, and we’re here to deliver practical, cost-effective ecological solutions that meet your timelines and budget.

Our team works directly with your designers, engineers, and project managers to help identify environmentally sensitive features such as wetlands, woodlands, and wildlife habitats. We assist in navigating complex regulatory requirements, securing necessary permits and approvals, and communicating with key stakeholders including municipalities, conservation authorities, and Indigenous communities. Our goal is to keep your project compliant without bogging you down in red tape.

We take an adaptive, streamlined approach to field studies and reporting—conducting only what’s necessary to satisfy permit conditions and avoid project delays. We won’t overload you with unnecessary assessments. Instead, we focus on targeted, relevant investigations that provide clear and actionable recommendations. Whether it’s a breeding bird survey or a wetland delineation, our work is designed to protect the environment without holding up your construction schedule.
