Services
Biodiversity Net Gain
We deliver comprehensive biodiversity net gain strategies to meet Environment Act 2021 requirements. Our services include baseline assessments, metric calculations, and habitat design to achieve 10% biodiversity improvements. Our experts negotiate offsetting solutions where onsite gains aren't feasible, ensuring compliance while supporting national nature recovery targets.
Protected Species Surveys
Our licensed ecologists conduct detailed surveys for protected species including bats, great crested newts, and birds. We provide mitigation strategies and licensing support to ensure projects comply with wildlife legislation, minimising delays while safeguarding ecological interests.
Habitat Restoration
We design and implement habitat creation projects from green roofs to wetland restoration. Our approach enhances biodiversity, supports carbon sequestration, and delivers long-term environmental value through landscape-scale rewilding and habitat enhancement initiatives.
Arboriculture
Our certified arboriculturists provide tree surveys, decay detection, and hazard management. Services include BS5837 assessments, root investigations using ground-penetrating radar, and preservation strategies for urban and woodland environments.
GIS Mapping
We utilise advanced GIS technology for ecological data visualisation and analysis. Our drone surveys and spatial datasets support informed decision-making through detailed mapping of habitats, species distributions, and environmental constraints.
