Environmental Consulting Firm in Nashville, TN - Lord & Winter

Nashville, Tennessee

With its rapid urban growth and naturally complex terrain, Nashville demands more than a one-size-fits-all approach to development. As an environmental consulting firm in Nashville, TN, Lord & Winter helps clients navigate regulatory and environmental challenges across a region shaped by the winding Cumberland River, forested hills, and diverse natural resources. These include overlapping water jurisdictions, stream and wetland mitigation rules, voluntary cleanup requirements, and endangered species protections. Our team brings deep knowledge of Middle Tennessee’s landscape, delivering solutions that balance progress with long-term environmental stewardship.

Local Presence

Our team stays closely aligned with local and state regulations, including those set by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) and its Division of Water Resources and Division of Solid Waste. We also work in collaboration with the Nashville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on projects involving streams, wetlands, and floodplain impacts.

With staff certified as Professional Geologists and Qualified Hydrologic Professionals (QHPs), we have gathered a highly capable team recognized as leaders in the state of Tennessee.
