Lark values natural resource planning's lasting impact on communities.

About Us

Juli Anna McNutt and Kara Mulvihill founded Lark Environmental in 2018, wanting to provide cost-effective and efficient solutions to clients while making a difference. Lark Environmental is a woman-owned, small business founded on expertise, quality, collaboration, and dedication.


Juli Anna and Kara have long worked together on complex environmental projects. They met while they were both employed by international architecture and engineering firms in Denver, Colorado. From there, they transferred to a Wyoming-based engineering firm to help build a NEPA team while also expanding their planning expertise.


Seeking a smaller company and the opportunity for new challenges and growth, in 2018 they began working as affiliates of Hidden Water, Inc., and C&C Environmental, two 100% Native American-owned small businesses.


Today, Lark combines environmental expertise and passion for quality service to develop the plans, reports, processes, and permitting documents that our clients need to successfully complete their project.


Lark believes that natural resource planning has a lasting effect that reaches beyond local communities. We strive to produce documents that will lead to the sustainable management of natural resources as well as plans that truly reflect the needs and wishes of the local people and communities.


Leading The Way

Leading the way in environmental services and resource management. Lark has completed NEPA reviews for natural resource plans, infrastructure projects (e.g., schools, daycares, housing, roads, dams, and powerlines), agricultural activities, buffalo restoration, energy development (e.g., oil and gas, pipelines, mining, right-of-way leasing and permitting, and liquid natural gas [LNG] terminals), and renewable energy development (e.g., solar and wind). We are experts at completing these reviews within expedited schedules, while successfully coordinating and collaborating with all stakeholders, including landowners, and local, state, tribal, and federal agencies.
