Lindsay Environmental Services Group

As my business has grown over the years I decided I had to either grow in size or narrow my focus in order to keep up with the demands of both the Information Management and Environmental sides of my business.  Enter my former colleagues Barry Snider and Dave Bell, both retired from  the OMNR and and highly respected.  In the spring of 2006 I invited Dave and Barry to form a loose association of independant consultants we have called the "Lindsay Environmental Services Group".  Since that time we have collaborated on many environmental projects.

Within the group my focus is on the project management and the information management side of things.  I have developed  proprietary database applications for the administration of projects and for storing and analysing natural heritage inventory data. Field work is done based on specific project requirements taking into account our individual expertise as well as availability to ensure completion of work in a timely manner.

Barry's vast experience goes back to Africa in the early 70's where he was a field biologist at the Gashaka State Park in Nigeria.  Barry was District Biologist  in White River then Terrace Bay in the from 73 to 86 and held  Environmental and Management Biologist positions in Lindsay and Peterborough Ontario.  Barry has also taught Principles of Wildlife Management at Fleming College in Lindsay. He has been providing ecological consulting services since 1999.
 

Dave hung out his environmental consulting shingle in 2006.  Like me, he started out in the aquaculture side of things as a contract Bio with OMNR Fish Culture Section in 1978.  By 1979 he was a District Biologist for the Lindsay District.  Dave also held positions as Wetlands Biologist for Aquatic Ecosystems Branch followed by stints as Senior Aquatic Biologist (Fisheries Section) then Regional Fisheries Biologist for Southern Region from 1998 till 2004.
