Our Story
Sweetbay Environmental was born from a deep love of wild places, native plants, and sustainable communities. Founded by an environmental scientist and city planner with many years of experience in government, permitting, and land use planning, our company was created to bridge the gap between regulation and reality — helping landowners, investors, and communities make confident, informed decisions about the land they steward.
Named after the sweetbay magnolia, a resilient and adaptable native tree, our firm is rooted in both environmental science and practical experience. Whether it's wetlands, zoning codes, stormwater compliance, or development feasibility, we translate complex regulations into clear, actionable guidance — so your project moves forward with confidence, clarity, and care.
