Environmental Consulting Firm in Baton Rouge, LA - Lord & Winter

Baton Rouge, Louisiana

As Louisiana’s capital and a growing hub for industry and infrastructure, Baton Rouge plays a key role in the Gulf South’s economic and environmental future. Positioned along the Mississippi River just above the coastal plain, the city features natural levees, flood-prone wetlands, and a mix of aging industrial sites and expanding residential zones. These diverse conditions pose challenges for development and call for strategic brownfield redevelopment and thoughtful environmental planning — areas where Lord & Winter's Louisiana-based environmental consultants provide valuable insight.
