The County is seeking qualified professional consultants to provide comprehensive land management services across its conservation lands and preserves. This is a three-year contract with two optional one-year extensions, structured around task-based assignments that will be negotiated individually as projects arise. The primary services encompass core areas of expertise such as: timber inventory and sale administration, including forest appraisals and harvesting oversight; reforestation and restoration projects for habitat improvement; boundary surveying and demarcation of preserve lands; wildlife management including population surveys and recreational hunting program development; invasive species control for both plants and animals; data collection and monitoring using GPS and GIS technologies; comprehensive management plan development; and fuel mitigation with fireline maintenance for prescribed fire applications. Successful contractors must demonstrate relevant certifications, and proven experience in natural resource management.

This opportunity requires firms capable of handling diverse ecological challenges while supporting the County's ecosystem-based, multi-use land management program across various conservation properties.
