Habitat Creation and Management

Development proposals for a site often require the pro-active involvement of an ecologist in order to provide a 'net gain' in ecological terms. This may involve (for example) the creation of a new wetland habitat, carefully designed to maximise its potential for sustainable wildlife interest, or the setting aside of strategic corridors to provide woodland links between existing isolated areas of habitat. It may also be appropriate to enter into a programme of low key but positive and ecologically sympathetic management, to optimise over time the nature conservation value of areas of existing or proposed green space. Habitats can be effectively created or enhanced by positive management, as well as by new construction or planting. Please visit our website for more details.
