Moorlands Ecology
Environmental Company in Stafford, Staffordshire
We supply specialised surveys to confirm the presence or absence of protected fauna and flora species on a site. Most commonly these are for bats, badgers or great crested newts. In some cases it is not possible to carry out a complete protected species survey due to the time of year. In this instance we can carry out a scoping survey which may indicate that there are no protected species present. Visit the Species tab for information on timing for protected species surveys.
