About BioLogic Environmental Consulting

Our Name

BioLogic: from BIO - of or relating to life,
and LOGIC from Greek logos - talking, reason.
Hence, BioLogic, the story of life or the reasoning of life.

Our History

BioLogic was formally organized in 1996 and initially offered only consulting services. It quickly became apparent, however, that project plans weren't being properly implemented or maintained, leading to great frustration on our part, and the realization that there was a need for knowledgeable, hands-on management. Thus, we initiated our services division, while retaining the full compliment of consulting services.

Our Philosophy

Know, respect and learn from the land. Know, respect and learn from the landowner. Keep current with the literature. Try new techniques and tools and share your results: we're all in this together. Provide cost effective services that please the landowner. Give back by donating time and expertise and by annually donating a portion of company income to local conservation organizations. Enjoy your work and believe in its importance. Stop to smell the flowers.
