Ecological Surveys

 

  The key to successfully developing projects is to have an accurate and reliable assessment of the value of habitats and species at a site. Ecological surveys range from Phase 1 habitat survey to detailed species surveys.

 

Ecoconsult ecologists are fully qualified and have extensive experience in undertaking surveys and monitoring work in relation to a wide range of species and habitats.
