EnglishWhat is Contract Ecology and what services does it provide?
Updated
Contract Ecology Ltd is a UK ecological consultancy and contracting practice that combines ecology, arboriculture, and land management under one team. It is aimed at clients who need wildlife advice, protected species surveys, or practical mitigation work to move a development through planning. According to the company, it has over 17 years of experience and operates UK-wide.
What Contract Ecology does
The practice describes itself as "Ecological Contractors" providing mitigation enabling works, habitat creation, and land management operations. Its stated purpose is to help clients get developments off the ground while maintaining the environment and growing natural habitats.
Its work sits in two related areas:
- Consultancy and surveys – specialist ecology and arboriculture surveys, reporting, and advice on wildlife issues and planning concerns.
- Practical groundworks and contracting – installing mitigation measures and carrying out habitat works on site.
