WRA is an environmental consultancy that’s making a net positive impact. As a tenacious team of planners, engineers, and scientists, we believe in leaving the lands we love better than we found them. We partner with public agencies, non-profits, and private entities on multidiscipline projects in a variety of markets. From planning and design, through entitlement and post-construction, we have your back. Our clients lean on us to navigate them through tricky projects and achieve benefits for both the natural environment and local communities. 

From our roots in wetland research and supporting our first clients in the Bay Area following the inception of the federal Clean Water Act, we have more than 40 years of experience in California's diverse ecoregions. This gives us an understanding of the unique habitats throughout the state and the growing needs of local communities. While our roots are in California, we have supported clients in nearly 30 states and counting.

WRA is proud to be an employee-owned, certified small business (SB-PW ref. #13333) with 100 team members working from four offices in California, and a growing distributed workforce throughout the West.
