About EDI Environmental Dynamics Inc.
EDI provides you with practical, environmental consulting services, specializing in aquatic and terrestrial sciences. Why practical? — because that's the kind of result you can do something with.
It drives us to stay focused on our clients' needs.
It drives us towards effective results.
It means that when we talk with our clients, we listen.
It means that if we have a crew headed out your way anyway, we'll stop by your project and take that sample you need at no extra charge.
Most importantly, it means that we take aquatic and terrestrial biology out of the theoretical world and put it to work for you on the ground (or in the water). And at the end of it all, we won't hand you a report that calls for more reports. You'll have actionable plans and hands-on management that keep your projects moving.
Down to Earth Biology talk to us about what it could mean for you.
