What We Do
Eco Solutions works with business, government agencies, and private landowners to manage prairie dog populations, particularly in conflict areas such as construction developments, multi-use open space, and urban areas. Eco Solutions also works with landowners who want to restore a keystone species, prairie dogs, to their protected grasslands. Gunnison's prairie dogs (Santa Fe/ABQ and Four Corners area) can be relocated in the spring and summer, in Santa Fe the local ordinance specifies April 1-30 and June 15-September 15 as the allowable days for prairie dog capture. Black-tailed prairie dogs (eastern NM and the plains) do not hibernate and have a more flexible capture and relocation period.
Our success in resolving prairie dog management issues has led to project across New Mexico as well as Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, and Texas. Eco Solutions, LLC has relocated over 4,000 Gunnison's prairie dogs and over 1,000 Blacktail prairie dogs to safe, sustainable habitat.
In addition to prairie dog relocation, Eco Solutions LLC can also manage the mitigation of Burrowing Owls that are protected by the Migratory Bird Act. Other Services provided by Eco Solutions LLC include custom GIS/GPS mappings services, erosion control, and habitat restoration.
