Our Professional Reporting Services
-
Full Ecological Surveys for Habitats and Protected Species
Our comprehensive ecological surveys assess the habitats on your site, identifying key species and ecological features. These surveys are designed to meet regulatory requirements and are suitable for planning submissions, site assessments, and biodiversity evaluations. -
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) / Net Benefits for Biodiversity Assessments
We provide detailed BNG assessments, helping you measure the biodiversity impact of your project. This includes River Condition Assessments and an evaluation of the net positive biodiversity benefits generated by your proposed land management or development actions. These assessments are crucial for projects aiming to achieve environmental sustainability and meet planning policy requirements.
-
Ecosystem Services Assessments
Our ecosystem services assessments evaluate the natural benefits your site provides, such as carbon sequestration, soil health, water management, and biodiversity. Using GIS mapping and UK habitat classification, we deliver a clear baseline and proposed management plan for your site, ensuring that you’re meeting environmental targets and supporting ecosystem health. -
Carbon Monitoring
We provide comprehensive carbon monitoring services, including habitat carbon sequestration assessments and the full Equine Carbon Calculator. Our expertise helps you measure your site’s carbon footprint and track how land management decisions affect carbon storage over time. Whether you're looking to reduce environmental impact or participate in carbon offsetting initiatives, we offer the insights needed to make informed, sustainable choices.
Support from Switch Ecology
For larger, more complex projects, our sister company, Switch Ecology, a CIEEM (Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management) registered practice, is available to provide additional ecological expertise. This collaboration ensures that we can handle projects of any scale, from small habitat surveys to large-scale biodiversity and ecosystem service assessments.
