What Are Ecological Surveys?
Ecological surveys involve the systematic collection and analysis of information about the natural environment. They assess the presence, distribution, and condition of habitats and species within a site, providing vital data for environmental planning and decision-making.
Key Areas of Focus:
- Habitat Surveys: Identification and mapping of various habitat types, such as woodlands, grasslands, and wetlands.
- Habitat Condition Assessment: An essential component of baseline data collection used in Biodiversity Net Gain Assessments.
- Protected Species Surveys: Detailed assessments for species like bats, newts, badgers, and birds, often required for regulatory compliance.
- Impact Assessments: Evaluating potential ecological risks from development or land use changes.
Our Process: From Assessment to Action
Our approach ensures that every project receives a tailored solution that aligns with its unique ecological context and client requirements.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
We begin with a discussion of your project’s needs and goals. This step helps us identify key ecological considerations and compliance requirements.
Step 2: Site Survey
Our ecologists conduct a thorough on-site assessment using cutting-edge tools and methodologies. This includes habitat mapping, species identification, and evaluation of ecological conditions.
Step 3: Analysis and Reporting
We compile the data into detailed reports, including:
- Ecological constraints and opportunities reports.
- Ecological Impact Assessment reports.
- Habitats Regulations Assessment reports.
