What is an Ecology Survey?
Our ecology surveys in Birmingham assess plants and animals in a specific area, including their interactions with each other and their habitat. An ecology survey is carried out to create an inventory of the living organisms and ecological features in a particular 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 landscape and the species living within it. These are used to assist developers and the Great Manchester planning authority in establishing what the next steps are to mitigate the impact on the surrounding environment.

How do I book my Ecology Survey?
When you call ProHort, we can provide you with a written quote for the specific ecology service that you require. If you decide to proceed, our specialist ecology consultant will visit the site to carry out the survey or assessment.
Once the survey has been completed, a report will put together your documentation. This will clearly show the results from the survey. This documentation will be sent in the form of a PDF or a physical copy of the report, if required.
