Applied Ecological Services is one of the leading ecological consulting, design and contracting firms in the world, dedicated to bringing the science of ecology to land-use decisions. AES applies science to provide practical land-use solutions that strike the most favorable balance between cultural needs, cost efficiencies and ecological sustainability. Our knowledge of ecological systems provides a solid foundation for implementing balanced ecological designs and solutions that are sustainable, cost-effective and enduring.

AES was established in 1978 by founder and owner Steven I. Apfelbaum, an ecologist who has built a reputation as one of the country’s leading ecologists. Today, AES is one of the nation’s most respected ecological services companies, with a staff of 120 and offices in Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Pennsylvania and New York.
