Celata Ecological Reconnaissance and Inventories
Celata Research
Associates specializes in ecological
reconnaissance, inventory, restoration and
education. Mike
Patterson, owner/operator, has over 35 years of
field experience identifying and counting the
plants and animals likely to occur in Ecological
reconnaissance and rapid assessment – Based on one
or two visits, we identify key characteristics of a
site and create a habitat profile employing longer
term studies from analog sites. These
rapid assessments can then be used by managers and
grant writers who are working on accelerated
time-lines. Comprehensive
inventories – Using
standardized protocols, we implement comprehensive
inventories focusing on wildlife densities and use
patterns. We
also do targeted protocol based counts of specific
plants or animals to determine distribution and
densities for mapping and planning. Restoration of
habitats – We provide
consulting services for those looking to restore and
manage native habitats.
