About the practice

Integrated Wetlands is an Alberta-based wetland science and environmental regulatory consultancy, built around a single principle: the person who does the fieldwork should be the one who signs the application.

Credentials

P.Ag — Professional Agrologist

Member in good standing with the Alberta Institute of Agrologists.

QWSP — Qualified Wetland Science Practitioner

Recognized under Alberta's Wetland Policy framework to conduct wetland assessments and act as an authenticating professional on regulatory submissions.

What "authenticating professional" means

Alberta Environment requires wetland regulatory submissions to be signed off by a qualified, currently-designated practitioner before they can be filed. That sign-off is a legal statement that the assessment meets provincial standards — it isn't a formality, and it's the step that most often creates delay when it's handled by a separate firm.

Why this practice exists

Wetland regulatory work in Alberta often moves through two firms: one to do the field assessment, another to provide the authenticating sign-off. That split adds handoffs, timeline risk, and cost. Integrated Wetlands was built to close that gap — one practitioner, credentialed for both the science and the sign-off, on every project from scoping through submission.

Approach

Every project starts with a scoping conversation, not a standard package. Fieldwork is scaled to what the regulator will actually ask for, and documentation is written to be read and approved the first time — not sent back with questions.

Working across Alberta

Based in Calgary, with projects taken on across the province — from agricultural land in the Prairie and Parkland regions to development sites along the Bow and Elbow river corridors.
