Ecological Services

Delta acquired Terrestrial Environmental Specialists, Inc. (TES) in early 2020 and relocated the group to a new office in Syracuse, NY. Delta now provides a wide range of ecological services with focus on a complete suite of wetland delineation and permitting services for institutional, commercial, and industrial clients. In addition, we also offer studies of flora, fauna, natural resources, fisheries, and endangered species as well as habitat inventories and restoration, plant and water quality studies, and subject matter expertise for court hearings.

Our staff specialists have comprehensive knowledge of environmental regulations, excellent working relationships with key natural resource and regulatory agencies, and a reputation for strong professional teamwork and client responsiveness. Over the years, TES has forged strong client relationships through solid performance and earned many repeat assignments from established clients. Under the leadership of Director Steve Sheridan, our Ecological Sciences Group Director, now has access to the full resources of a 150-person architectural and engineering firm to better meet the needs of the combined client rosters of both firms.
