With summer in full swing, the window for conducting surveys for many special-status species is beginning to close. Depending on your region there is still time to survey for: - Crotch’s bumble bee - Burrowing owl (in Western Riverside County MSHCP area only) - Late-blooming plant species If your project requires biological surveys, now is the time to act.

Special-status species survey season is here! Don’t get left behind. Explore our Special-Status Species Survey Calendar Tool for up-to-date information on protected species, their habitat requirements, regions, and the corresponding survey periods that may affect your project, all in one place:

FCS is here to help you navigate the complexities of species-specific survey windows, habitat conditions, and regulatory requirements. Even as survey windows close, we can continue to conduct habitat assessments for any special-status species, either as a standalone study or as part of a formal Biological Resources Assessment to support CEQA review. Looking for information on protected species, their habitat requirements, regions, and the corresponding survey periods that may affect your project?
