What is an Ecology Survey?
Ecology surveys in Lancashire are designed to assess the behaviors of plants and animals in a certain area. This includes their interactions with each other as well as their habitat. Ecology surveys in Lancashire allow us to create an inventory of all living organisms and ecological features in a specific area. The purpose of undertaking an ecology survey is to help understand the dynamics of the ecosystem and identify potential impacts, risks and constraints of potential developments on the surrounding landscape. A number of these ecology surveys are used to assist local planning authorities and developers to establish what the next steps will be to mitigate the impact on the surrounding environment.
