What We Offer

Providing monitoring, research, education, and training to enable natural resource agencies, non-profit organizations, and educators to assess and preserve vertebrate and invertebrate species, habitats, and ecological functions; and to help youth and adults to investigate, understand, and appreciate the roles of insects and other invertebrates in the natural world. Earthwise Analytics LLC is currently in the process of applying for its certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise in the state of Washington.

habitat assessment

Fish, insects and other invertebrates play key ecological roles and are at the center of every food web, but land managers often lack information about their status, distribution, and habitat needs. I assess invertebrate & vertebrate species’ status & map population distributions and habitat utilization via field surveys done in conjunction with investigation of historical data, museum specimens, and scientific literature and reports; and develop site-specific recommendations for habitat management and conservation of populations.
