Protected Species Surveys

A solid survey forms the basis of subsequent actions, and our ecologists have extensive experience in conducting these. Within our team, we possess survey licenses for a range of protected species including great crested newts, hazel dormouse, bats, badgers, sand lizards, and smooth snakes. Additionally, we work with a network of proficient subcontractors to assist with conducting other specialized surveys when required.
