Biological Assessments and Biological Evaluations, commonly referred to as BA/BE's, evaluate your project's impacts on Threatened, Endangered, and Sensitive species. If your project intersects with federal money, federal land, or federal minerals, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service requires a Biological Assessment of its affects on species listed or proposed for Endangered Species Act protection. If your project takes place on Federally managed lands, such as BLM or U.S. Forest Service, a Biological Evaluation may be required by the federal land management office. Biological Evaluations address your project's effects on BLM-sensitive or Regional Forester-sensitive species. Often times, project proponents are required to submit both documents. 

To date, Sagebrush's staff have completed 33 BA/BE's on behalf of clients ranging from the National Park Service to rural airstrips.
