Background

About Roy Cook

With over 13 years of experience in environmental science and natural resource management, my work primarily focuses on preserving and restoring vital wetland and aquatic habitats. My expertise includes wetland and ordinary high water mark delineation, mitigation and compliance monitoring, ecological condition assessment, and ecological restoration. I am skilled in utilizing drone and geospatial technologies for restoration projects, site assessments, and environmental monitoring, bringing innovation and accuracy to ecological surveys. In past and current roles, I regularly coordinate with key agencies such as USACE, USFWS, and various state entities, and provide permitting guidance to clients to help them navigate federal and state-specific requirements. I have worked on habitat restoration projects aimed at supporting threatened, endangered, and special-status species, with a solid foundation in pre-restoration assessments and post-restoration monitoring. My background also includes water quality sampling and statistical analyses, moist-soil management planning, writing habitat management plans, and specialized surveys for sensitive species such as Ute ladies'-tresses.
