Florida Bonneted Bat Acoustics

ETE conducted an acoustic foraging survey to assess the presence of the Florida bonneted bat (FBB) (Eumops floridanus) on the Sports Park property as part of permitting with the USACE and USFWS.  The survey was accepted and approved by USFWS in 2019.

Florida Panther Impact Assessment

ETE worked with the USFWS assessing potential habitat impacts to Florida Panther as as result construction of the Sports Park.  During permitting for the City Gate property (the parent parcel of the Sports Park site), we assisted with permitting and construction of a wildlife crossing on CR 846, east of Immokalee.
