Wind power, cell tower, and skyscraper projects throughout the world face increasing scrutiny regarding their potential impacts on bird populations, including neotropical migrants, raptors, and local breeding populations.  There is considerable public debate about whether these projects have a biologically significant impact on bird populations, and permitting requirements often include rigorous impact evaluations for these species.  Similar issues have been raised concerning bats, particularly for endangered species such as the Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis).

To assist clients in addressing these concerns, Woodlot designs and conducts state-of-the-art avian and bat surveys that meet agency requirements and produce defendable data, using techniques that are innovative and cost-effective
