Company Overview

Family-Owned. Alberta-Focused. Restoration Experts.

Tannas Conservation Services (TCS) is a family-run and operated company based in NW Calgary, Alberta. The core team of TCS was originally incorporated under their current subsidiary (Eastern Slopes Rangeland Seeds Ltd.) in 1985, and in 2011, the Tannas family split the company in two, with Eastern Slopes Rangeland Seeds Ltd. becoming one of the largest native plant suppliers in Southern Alberta and TCS becoming a dedicated consulting firm.

TCS specializes in the management of both established native ecosystems and the restoration of damaged ecosystems. TCS is focused on environmental consulting with specializations in environmental monitoring, restoration ecology, bioengineering, rangeland management, biophysical Inventories, education, and research.

The extensive experience of our in-house staff enables us to provide innovative and high-quality solutions that are unavailable elsewhere. Our commitment to excellence in all areas of our work extends to our use of only the most reputable sub-consultants in each environmental discipline.

We are located across Alberta with closely partnering companies in Alberta and BC. Our bases of operation include: Cremona (Head office), Calgary, and Edmonton, Alberta and Cranbrook BC. We primarily run out of small home offices, with our Cremona office acting as our hub of operations.
