Habitat surveys

UKHab survey

Our ecologists are botanically trained and their skills are regularly assessed using the Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland (BSBI) Field Identification Skills Certificate (FISC). Our team includes ecologists at FISC Level 4 & 5.

The starting point for most site assessments is a UK Habitat Classification (UKHab) survey to map the habitats present and check for any notable ecological features. Our surveyors will use their experience to identify standard habitat types and will target note any evidence of protected species. This baseline field information provides the starting point for our Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEA).
