James R. Tibble, PE
Senior Project Manager, Civiltech Engineering, Inc.
Itasca, Illinois

"Every transportation and infrastructure project impacts the existing environment, including wetlands. Civiltech’s Environmental and Design Studies team depends on the expertise of our consultants to ensure our analysis of a project’s impacts is thorough and comprehensive and to help guide our solutions and design alternatives. We are always grateful when Olson Ecological Solutions is part of our project team. OES provides outstanding wetland delineation services, and their staff is highly responsive and communicative. We especially appreciate the excellent and meticulous wetland reports OES prepares in support of our Federally-funded projects."

Kerry Leigh
Former Executive Director, Natural Land Institute
Rockford, Illinois

"OES has been an incredible resource for the Natural Land Institute for several years. We are a non-profit conservation land trust. Rebecca and her team have assisted with land acquisitions including preparing board presentations, writing grants, updating easement baselines, and most recently writing our Strategic Conservation Plan which included coordinating all the committees and updating our Project Selection Checklist. Rebecca is a delight to work with, is responsive, and has a lovely sense of humor. We have really appreciated her and her team's dedication to excellence."

"The Rockford Park District has a long-standing relationship with Olson Ecological Solutions and I have personally worked with them on a range of ecological based projects for more than 10 years. The OES team is knowledgeable, responsive, and invested in delivering high quality and successful projects. I look forward to continuing to work with the OES team on future projects."

Emily Poynter Jenkins, PhD, PE, CFM

“We have worked with OES on several projects recently where they have designed the native landscape and maintenance plan for stream restoration projects to control erosion.  Their expertise in the subject matter, thoroughness with design, overall responsiveness, and eagerness to assist set them apart as a firm we want to team with again and again.  We’ve been very happy with the finished product OES produces and look forward to the next opportunity to partner with them.”

Jerry Paulson

"I have great confidence in the ecological knowledge of Rebecca and the staff of OES, and rely on them to provide effective and efficient services for our land conservation projects. They know how to use complicated land protection tools and are familiar with sources of funding that are available to help clients complete projects. I use them to supplement our limited staff whenever possible."
