Comprehensive Ecological Services
Baseline Ecological Surveys
We provide phase 1 ecological surveys, including Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEA), UK Habitat Classification (UKHab) surveys, Preliminary Roost Assessments (PRA) and Ecological Walkover Surveys. These surveys are important to get a required baseline of any given site, in order to inform the need (if any) for further detailed surveys.
Advanced Bat Surveys
Our Director and Principal Ecologist Samuel, holds advanced bat survey licences allowing for the trapping and radio tracking of bats for your project needs. We also have qualified and experienced surveyors who can undertake aerial tree assessments for roosting bats.
Impact Assessments
We conduct Ecological Impact Assessments (EcIA) and Habitat Regulation Assessments (HRA and/or sHRA) to identify potential impacts on protected sites, habitats, and species, and recommend effective mitigation, compensation and enhancement measures in order to comply with local government environmental policies, along with statutory legislation.
Detailed Species Surveys
We provide phase 2 ecological surveys across a range of species including but not limited to bats, dormice, great crested newt, reptiles, birds, badger, hedgehog, water vole, otter, invertebrates. Please get in touch to discuss any requirements you may have.
Detailed Habitat Surveys
We provide detailed habitat/botanical surveys using National Vegetation Classification (NVC).
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)
We help clients achieve a net gain in biodiversity through careful planning, design, and implementation of ecological enhancements, conforming to the Biodiversity Metric and the Small Sites Metric.
