Expert Environmental Consulting Rooted in Indigenous Knowledge
100% Woman Owned
100% Indigenous (Métis) Owned
100% Highly Skilled Biologist Owned (Ph.D. & P.Biol.)
Bird Environmental Consulting Ltd. is located in Parkland County, Alberta and was founded in 2025. We offer the full suite of environmental services internally and in partnership with our carefully selected, ethical, and highly skilled sub-consultants. All sub-consultants were selected based on their experience, skill sets, and for either being Indigenous or for being Indigenous allies, as there are very few highly qualified Indigenous consulting companies.
Unlike most other Indigenous Owned Environmental Consulting companies, Bird Environmental Consulting Ltd. is 100% owned by one of the top Indigenous Biologists in North America – Dr. Krista (Krissy) Bird.
She has over 20 years of experience working on environmental projects. She has pioneered research into non-invasive DNA extraction techniques, large-scale wildlife genetics research, and grouse research across North America, as well as having worked in environmental consulting for almost 15 years.She completed her Ph.D. in 2009, her Post-Doc in 2010, and has been in environmental consulting since 2011. Dr. Bird has worked on everything from very small to large projects in transportation, renewable energy, mining, and oil and gas and has overseen all forms of environmental regulatory approvals and permitting in her various roles
Bird Environmental Consulting Ltd. is looking forward to helping all clients meet their environmental needs. However, we are particularly interested in helping Indigenous communities and groups since they are the least likely to get the environmental help that they truly need. Being a company owned and operated by a highly respected biologist, we can effectively help Indigenous clients with whatever projects or issues that they have and are willing to help the communities advance their projects using their own people.
Services that we and our subconsultants offer are:
• Wildlife
• Species at Risk
• Fish and Fish Habitat
• Aquatics
• Vegetation
• Rare Plants
• Wetlands
• Soils
• GIS and Geomatics
• Regulatory Approvals and Permitting
• Biophysical Inventories and Reporting
• Environmental Monitoring
• Research and Specialty Services
• Historical Resources and Archaeology
• Indigenous Consultation
• Public Consultation
• Planning
• Engineering
Every project will be overseen by Dr. Bird to ensure the highest quality product. For Indigenous clients, this will ensure that they get the information that they actually need, and not just the information that the consultant thinks is necessary, to further their projects.
