About Our Company

Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc. was founded by Rich Shepard in 1993 to provide the highest levels of scientific expertise to the natural resource industries.

The company has successfully completed projects for several sectors of the mining industry, forestry companies, electrical utilities, and transmission companies.

In addition to scientific and technical expertise with rivers, watersheds, and all aspects of the Clean Water Act (CWA), Endangered Species Act (ESA), and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) -- and their state equivalents -- the company brings to its clients years of experience in the management of natural resource industries, agency relations, and legislative processes. We have testified at hearings of state legislatures and have met with individual legislators to explain complex environmental and industry issues.

Our Mission

To streamline the environmental permitting process so it is objective, technically sound, legally defensible, quick, and meets the needs of operators, regulators, and the public.
