Clients - Land and Resources Management

Far Western conducts archaeological studies for a variety of federal and state land and resource management agencies, such as the Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, Bureau of Reclamation, National Park Service, and the California Department of Natural Resources. Many of these studies are conducted as part of the environmental review process associated with timber sales, fire rehabilitation, land exchanges, trail and recreational development, stream and habitat restoration, and road construction. These same organizations are often the lead agencies for larger-scale private and public development projects. This work has given Far Western a working knowledge of agency-specific guidelines and management procedures, as well as a thorough grounding in state and federal historic preservation statutes.

Far Western is always a pleasure to work with; their principals are responsive and creative and willing to talk openly about potential challenges and solutions.  Far Western's work products are some of the best in the business. They illustrate a high degree of quality control and never require substantial revisions following review.  Fieldwork on major projects is always supervised by highly qualified senior staff, ensuring a high degree of accuracy and efficiency.
