WHAT WE DO?
River Restoration Management
From river surveys, through to liasing with landowners, applying for funding and consent to managing contractors on the ground, we are able to provide an experienced and competent service. We have extensive experience in advising on flood relief options and habitat enhancements such as installing deflectors and creating low flow channels, pool and riffle sequences.
Water Vole Survey Work
With extensive experience of water vole survey and mitigation works we are able to advise on the best way to manage the presence of this protected species on your site.
Carol holds a CL31 displacement licence and is able to supervise destructive bank techniques.
Carol’s work primarily focusses on wetland management to benefit wildlife or reduce flood risk. She is unlikely to accept work associated with the construction industry unless there is a obvious benefit for wildlife.
Habitat Surveys and Management
From small urban sites to country wide wetland systems, we can provide habitat surveys to meet your requirements and create management plans which work for their audience.
Management recommendations can be taken a step further with on-site training for contractors on species i.d. and overseeing project management on the ground.
We specialise in listening to you and working in partnership with you and your contractors.
Land Management Advice and Farmer Liaison
Creating good working relationship with landowners is a skill that can’t be taught but respecting the knowledge farmers have about their land is a good starting point. We have an excellent track record of working with landowners to provide advice on managing land and waterways and achieving positive changes for wildlife.
