Peninsula Environmental

What Peninsula Environmental does

Peninsula Environmental Group, Inc. is a Port Angeles, Washington-based environmental services firm founded in 2015 by John Bornsworth as Peninsula Urban Forestry and rebranded in January 2019 to reflect its expanded service portfolio. The company delivers environmental consulting and specialty contracting across three integrated service lines: wetland and shoreline biology (delineations, ratings, ordinary high water mark studies, fish exclusion), certified arboriculture and urban forestry (tree risk assessments, arborist reports, expert witness services, tree protection plans), and specialized field services (ground penetrating radar, private utility locating, non-destructive wood and utility pole testing, herbicide application, hydroseeding, tightline/stormwater installation, and pile driving). Its technology stack is built around specialized field equipment, including GPR for subsurface utility locating, micro-resistance drill technology for non-destructive wood and utility pole decay assessment, the Smith-Root LR-24 Backpack Electrofisher for WSDOT-certified electrofishing, and PD200 pneumatic pile drivers with up to 1,000 feet of air hose for limited-access projects, supplemented by GIS-based mapping and inventory.

The business operates a project-based, quote-driven professional services model. Customers range from individual homeowners to developers, public agencies (local, state, federal), tribes, and nonprofits, with no intermediary or channel partner structure. Typical project values range from approximately $6,000 (single-site utility locates) to $86,000 (Hoh River Restoration scope), and the company has delivered thousands of individual engagements including ~40 wetland delineations, ~30 shoreline assessments, ~100 arborist reports, ~20 residential stormwater projects, and 2,200-2,500 pole inspections in a single recent year. The company is bootstrapped and founder-owned, employs 1-10 people across offices in Port Angeles, Port Townsend, Moses Lake (WA), and Petoskey (MI), and reaches across the Pacific Northwest, Midwest, and nationally for utility pole inspection work.
