2020 Environmental Group ("2020") is pleased to announce that SWCA Environmental Consultants (“SWCA”) has acquired Terra Verde Environmental Consulting (“Terra Verde”), an environmental consulting firm based in San Luis Obispo, California, that serves the energy, utility, and government sectors.
2020 served as the buy-side M&A advisor to SWCA and initiated the transaction. This is the second successful transaction that 2020 has advised on with SWCA.
Founded in 2007, Terra Verde is well-respected in the industry for providing environmental consulting services to help clients in planning, permitting, and ensuring compliance of their projects. Areas of expertise include biological surveys and monitoring, ecological scent-detection dogs, habitat restoration, and environmental training, permitting, and compliance.
The addition of Terra Verde grows SWCA’s presence and natural resources services in central California and the surrounding region.
"Terra Verde’s dedication to high-quality environmental consulting services and commitment to giving back to their communities immediately stood out to me as a match,” said Joseph J. Fluder III, CEO and President of SWCA. “Terra Verde is a trusted partner to state and local agencies, and together, we’re excited to combine our expertise to continue supporting our clients in California and the surrounding region with their environmental challenges.”
