The survey season is upon us!

Are you working on a site which might be home to great crested newts, breeding birds, badgers, reptiles, bats or other protected species?

If so, make sure that you have planned in the required surveys. Failure to do so could result in delays of up to a year and extra costs.

Also, if you are developing a wetland or coastal site, don't forget to book in wintering bird surveys which start in September.

Our large team of ecologists are all professionally trained and operate within IEEM guidelines. We have the expertise to cover a broad range of habitats and species - terrestrial, freshwater and marine.

We can offer a complete ecological service, ranging from strategic advice and Biodiversity Action Plans (BAPs) through to inputs to Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), initial scoping studies, habitat surveys, protected species surveys (such as bats, great crested newts and badgers), mitigation schemes, post-project monitoring and expert witness appearances. On top of all that we teach ecology and we undertake original research into translocation of mammals and other issues of current concern.
