Nature Conservation Management Plans

We offer an unique holistic approach to management planning:

  • Integrating ecology with the heritage and agricultural environment: we are professionally qualified in historical research and archaeology, as well as ecology, and were involved with designing the new agri-environment schemes.
  • Working with the latest technology in CMS management planning software.
  • Designing user-friendly ecological monitoring programmes.
  • Negotiating with stakeholders to reconcile conflicting priorities for site management, skills honed from years of experience working with local community groups.
  • Providing guidance on legal aspects of management planning issues – our team includes a qualified environmental and conservation lawyer (non-practising).
  • Delivering nationally-recognised expertise in vegetation assessment – the fundamental basis of all habitat management schemes – combined with all-round ecological knowledge.
