Let us help keep your project on track

Services

With offices in the Cotswolds and South Wales, Wildwood Ecology’s team of experienced and licenced ecologists has successfully been providing a range of ecology services since 2008.

Preliminary Ecological Appraisal

We provide a PEA to identify any ecological constraints to your development proposal and recommend opportunities to help you restore biodiversity and habitat loss.

Protected Species Surveys

Wildlife legislation protecting bats, badgers, newts, reptiles and birds requires surveys to establish the presence of threatened species on or near a development site.

Mitigation Design and Licences

Where a development may impact protected species or habitats, professional ecological consultants are required to prepare and submit necessary technical information.

Biodiversity Net Gain

We identify, map and calculate biodiversity loss and gain and provide appropriate designs at all stages of planning and development.

"Great to deal with - honest, straightfoward and always helpful"

Austin Design Works have worked with Wildwood Ecology on several projects now. Their knowledge and insight is always very useful, particularly early on in a project when we need to understand what information will be required both for design considerations and Planning Application support, and any impact this may have on our programme. Their attention to detail means they have been able to add context to some projects by looking at wider connections, which has informed a mitigation strategy aligned to neighbouring properties or developments. The quality of their survey and reporting is excellent as standard; their people are great to deal with – honest, straightforward, and always helpful.
