Welcome to Ecosystems Northwest

Ecosystems Northwest performs biological field surveys such as stream surveys, fish surveys, or sensitive species surveys. We also use our research experience and training to provide data analyses, reviews, or syntheses of environmental or natural resource problems.

Our mission...using science to explain nature

Drawing on a combination of research experience, creativity, and common sense, we bring a scientific approach to your resource problem at a low cost.

Company background

Kim Mattson, owner:

"After receiving my Ph.D. in ecology in 1985, I thought I would likely continue doing research in forest and soils, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem function. But after working on soft-money grant projects for about 10 years, I lost some of my enthusiasm and felt that I wasn't contributing meaningfully to any research problems. I also felt that the field of ecology had stalled. So, instead of contributing to the competing for grant money and publications, I began to look for a different way to use my skills. I combined my research interests in ecosystem behavior with my experience in field surveying to form Ecosystems Northwest. I think we are unique in that we can offer simple and creative solutions at a low cost."

Ecosystems Northwest started in Corvallis, Oregon, and has recently moved to Mt. Shasta, California. The firm still performs many projects out of the Corvallis office and is actively seeking projects in Northern California. Contracts have been completed for Federal government, watershed councils, Indian tribes, forest industries, non-profits, and private parties.
