Associated Services: * Inventory, monitoring and management of all wildlife species: game, nongame, threatened and endangered species * habitat assessment and development * wetland and shallow water pond design * Hunting Leases Our philosophy towards wildlife management is based on a broad holistic approach rather than single species management. Once the objectives of the client are defined, we analyze the subject and surrounding properties using the GIS system to identify natural features that may or could potentially unite or provide synergy in habitat development efforts. A field inventory of the subject property is conducted to identify land-cover, its arrangement, types and abundance of wildlife populations, and land uses to identify those habitat components that may be limiting wildlife populations. A variety of habitat restoration tools are used including prescribe burning, wetland creation and restoration, scrub/shrub plantings, and modifications to agricultural/forestry operations Active hunting lease programs provide money while providing additional capacity for wildlife and habitat management. There are many types of government and non-profit incentive programs
available to support habitat and conservation practices. However, at
RMA, we feel it is imperative to first develop a comprehensive long
term plan. Too often landowners will enroll in an incentive program
and accept program limitations that they later determine to be inconsistent
with their long-term interest. Red-cockaded Woodpecker Gopher Tortoise Quail Plantations Wildlife pond in field, summer view  Wildlife pond in field, winter view
