What is an Ecology Survey?
These surveys help us document all living organisms and environmental features present, providing valuable insights into the dynamics of the ecosystem. Conducting an ecology survey allows us to identify potential impacts, risks, and constraints associated with proposed developments, ensuring informed decision-making. Many of these surveys support local planning authorities and developers in determining the necessary steps to mitigate environmental impact.
