History and Philosophy

Founded in 2003, Southern Environmental Group, Inc. provides professional consulting services to property owners, non-profit groups, private corporations, Government Agencies, Municipals and others. With ever-changing, complex regulations, existing and prospective land owner’s must have a knowledgeable, dedicated team to help them achieve their goals. Our mission is to provide clients with accurate, complete, and timely data to support informed and responsible decisions on land use and development that are both sustainable and profitable.

Since our inception, we have delineated more than 30,000 acres of wetlands throughout the Southeastern United States.

Mapping

Our expertise using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology will help project managers and contractors to develop plans that consider a wide range of geographic information including coastal zone delineations, jurisdictional wetlands, flood mapping, topography, soils, threatened and endangered species, and more.

Conservation

The SEGi team works hard to conserve areas of importance when planning a development project. We consider the unique needs and goals of each project and property to determine a set of alternatives. These alternatives create opportunities to achieve those goals with the least impact on the environment while limiting regulatory and permitting hurdles wherever possible.

Finished Project

We are dedicated to seeing your project through from the very beginning of the planning stage to the finished project. Our team is efficient, knowledgeable, and interested in our work. We are happy to build relationships in collaboration with others working, creating an extended team to ensure the smoothest execution of your plans.
