History

Palustris Environmental, LLC  was formed in 2016 out of a need to provide our core clientele with a lower cost and more efficient alternative to the classic consultant engineer model. 

Palustris' owner, Andrew Longenecker, has over 20 years of environmental consultant experience, including developing the natural resources delineation and permitting practice for several engineering design consultants, most recently at one of the region's top oil and gas engineering firms.  Mr. Longenecker is recognized as one of the leading environmental consultants within the Marcellus and Utica plays, with successful projects throughout West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky.

Palustris also has an extensive background in a wide range of clients, including civil engineers, land developers, and surveyors, as well as the natural gas, commercial, manufacturing, and residential industries.  Project size range from the single-lot owner who wants to build a house with the least environmental impact, to pipelines extending for many miles through forest, agricultural, and urban land.  From our humble beginnings of working for a small non-profit to supporting multi-million dollar engineering firms, Palustris has always understood the value of the customer and treating each client as an individual through respect and humility. Palustris' value lies in our thoroughness, dedication, and innovative approach to environmental challenges, and proven record of success.
