Cirrus Ecological Solutions

What Cirrus Ecological Solutions does

Cirrus Ecological Solutions L.C. is a privately held environmental consulting firm founded in 2000 in Logan, Utah, operating as an LLC with 1–10 employees and no external institutional funding. The firm delivers professional services across seven interconnected service lines: environmental compliance (NEPA documentation, FERC filings, ESA and Clean Water Act permitting), environmental impact assessment (wetland delineation, hydrologic investigations, restoration planning), biological inventory and analysis (wildlife, fish, plant censuses, threatened and endangered species surveys), physical resource inventory (water quality, TMDL studies), natural resources management, GIS and spatial analysis services, and litigation support with expert witness work.

The technology backbone consists of industry-standard geospatial tools — ESRI Suite, MapWindow, AutoCAD, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GPS data collection, and water quality sampling equipment — used to build relational databases, run spatial analyses, and produce mapping and graphics for regulatory documentation. The firm does not maintain a software platform, API, or AI/ML capabilities; delivery is professional services rendered by the seven-person team plus subcontracted specialists.

Cirrus generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements billed on a quote basis, with no disclosed pricing or subscription model. The go-to-market is direct relationship selling, primarily through referrals and direct outreach to federal and state land management agencies (Forest Service, BLM), power utilities (notably PacifiCorp), ski resorts, mining companies, and private landowners across Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Oregon, and other western US states, with some extension into New England. Marketing channels are limited to the company website, direct phone, and email contact — there is no formal digital marketing, app, or social media presence.
