Native Plant Studies & Inventories

Novak Environmental, Inc. has performed a wide variety of native plant studies and inventories for hundreds of projects. Some of our most notable include:

We use a state-of-the-art Trimble GPS unit to assist our field staff. This allows us to obtain location information with sub-meter (less than 3') accuracy.
