What is an Ecology Survey?
Our ecology surveys in Stoke-On-Trent help to assess the plants and animals in a certain area. This includes their interactions with each other and their habitat. Ecology surveys in Stoke-On-Trent 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 any potential impacts, risks and constraints of potential developments on the landscape and the species living within it. 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.
