JFNew to merge with Cardno Ltd.

The pairing will help develop developing a "leading natural resources consulting team"

JFNew, a Midwest leader in ecological consulting, ecosystem restoration, and native plant nursery operations, has signed an agreement to merge with Cardno Limited, a family of companies whose integrated professional services are used to plan, design, manage and deliver physical and social infrastructure solutions in developed and
emerging economies around the world.
 
Once the agreement is finalized, JFNew will become an integral contributor to Cardno ENTRIX, a leading natural resources management and environmental consultancy. Additionally, JFNew will gain access to the Australian-based parent’s comprehensive global network of 3,800 employees, corporate resources, and diverse solutions portfolio.
 
In return, JFNew brings to the broader organization a much stronger Midwestern presence, particularly in the strategic Great Lakes Region; a multitude of complementary consulting capabilities; as well as one of the leading native plant nurseries in the United States.
