We undertake Protected Species survey, assessment, licensing and mitigation including in-house scheme design and build services for any mitigation works.
ECoW
Experienced ECoW staff work to ensure clients projects are compliant with any ecological legislation or planning commitments and are on call to support the site team with any ecological queries. They help with inductions, toolbox training and are experienced in communicating technical ecological information to staff on site.
Design
Habitat Works build net gain and added value into projects by integrating ecological thinking into landscape design. Knowledge of native species and habitats typical of the local area is used to create designs that are intrinsically connected to local biodiversity networks. Our Landscape Management Plans support the design with practical and management actions that ensure the long term success of new habitats.
