Get in touch for survey and mitigation advice

Many protected species are only active at certain times of year and surveys timings can be restrictive, so it is always advisable to plan your surveys in advance and appoint an ecologist during the early stages of a project.

If there is a need for mitigation, either as part of a European Protected Species Mitigation (EPSM) licence or a Precautionary Method of Working, we have highly experienced ecologists on hand to advise and support at all stages. This includes preparing licence applications to Natural England and overseeing and implementing all mitigation works.

We have offices throughout the country - London, Sussex, Norfolk, the Midlands, the North, and Devon - offering local advice on the planning and timing of surveys and mitigation. Get in touch if you would like our help.
