Ecological surveying

Protected species

If you are applying for planning permission you will need to know if you have protected species on your land or on the development site. After a Phase 1 ecological survey Countrycare may be able to assist with specific surveys if more are recommended. We specialise in great crested newt or other amphibian and reptile surveys.

Be aware species surveys are time sensitive.

Veteran trees

In order to assess invertebrate habitat and its connectivity in the landscape, Countrycare can survey the veteran trees, assess their age and plot them on a map. This contributes to biological records in your area and can help inform planning decisions. Past Countrycare veteran tree surveys have been utilised to inform local parish tree strategies.
