About us
Since 1993, we have been operating under the ownership of Essex Wildlife Trust, providing advice and support through the application of extensive experience and knowledge within the field of ecological conservation. Our simple yet professional approach enables clients to progress their projects at pace in an efficient way.
We are based at Abbotts Hall Farm, the Head Office of Essex Wildlife Trust near Colchester. Most of our work is carried out across Essex, East Anglia and the South East, but we can carry out our work anywhere in the UK.
We understand how crucial the timely completion of survey work is, especially as clients are often reliant on receiving our reports before they can progress to the next stage of their project. The team will always look to agree ambitious timelines with clients and take pride in going above and beyond to deliver on our promises. Delivering on our promises is important to us.
We are members of “Wildlife Trust Consultancies” and operate to the standards and principles expected from the group. We have the conservation and promotion of wildlife at the heart of our core values and work with clients to achieve conclusions where all stakeholders accomplish fantastic outcomes. All our profits are used by Essex Wildlife Trust, to carry out great work in improving habitats and promoting the conservation of wildlife.
