Ecological Consultancy Services for Other Consultancies

We provide expert ecological advice and technical solutions to a wide range of consultancies. Our aim is to furnish our clients with sound scientific knowledge as the basis for making responsible decisions involving land use and resource management. We specialise in protected species surveys and mitigation, and can undertake the component parts of large scale environmental assessments from scoping studies to the on-site implementation of mitigation schemes using our in-house ecological contracting department.

We employ a team of highly trained people, all experts in a full range of ecological disciplines with membership to the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (IEEM). Between them our staff hold various protected species licenses and accreditations for a range of habitat survey techniques e.g. bat roost visitor licenses, countryside disturbance licence for Badgers, River Habitat Survey (RHS) accreditation, etc.
