Natural resources consulting

We provide nature-based solutions to deliver maximum business value while preserving our shared environment.

Managing projects that could impact natural resources means navigating evolving regulations, potential public opposition, and shifting financial conditions — any of which can cause significant project delays. But in today’s competitive environment, with limited site availability, increasing capital costs, and complex regulatory requirements, being first to market is essential.

Haley & Aldrich can help you get there. Our experienced natural resource and biological scientists work alongside permitting experts to deliver solutions for energy, real estate, mining, transportation, and manufacturing projects. We consider each project stage, from concept and design to permitting, mitigation, construction, and operation, to help clients meet their development goals. In close collaboration with your team, we clarify objectives and critical paths, using Lean principles to anticipate challenges, assess solutions, and keep projects on track.

Because timing is crucial, we consider resource evaluations and permitting from the earliest stages of a project. By engaging early, we can often identify opportunities to avoid or minimize impacts on natural resources, which can simplify permitting requirements, streamline agency approvals, and reduce expenses — ultimately helping you complete your project more quickly and sustainably.

Thoughtful natural resources consulting that exceeds your expectations

We focus on communication and collaboration throughout every natural resources consulting engagement so that we can best represent our clients and their projects. This approach is particularly important when advocating for clients among the groups that affect the permitting process under natural resources regulations. Our clients often tell us that they respect our ability to find common ground with authenticity and efficiency.

Clients can rely on our teams to have this ability because, in addition to technical training, every staff member at Haley & Aldrich participates in regular personal mastery training. This program helps individuals gain deeper self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and the skills needed to achieve goals. In other words, each of our consultants gets hands-on practice truly listening and asking thoughtful questions during difficult circumstances — which means that we’re always prepared to face and adeptly address the challenges that stand in your project’s way.

We provide natural resources consulting for the following markets:

Our natural resources consultants envision your project’s end result and provide thoughtful solutions — getting you closer to success with every step.
