With over 16 years of experience, our ecologists fully appreciate how the discovery of legally protected species can impact a project from planning, programme and budgetary perspectives. We work closely with our clients and their project teams to deliver cost-effective and achievable outcomes, whilst ensuring that important ecological features are fully safeguarded throughout the lifecycle of the project.
