ecology

Ecology has been an integral part of our multi-disciplinary consultancy for over 25 years through early involvement in large scale, environmentally sensitive projects.

The practice offers a complete ecological service covering a range of disciplines, which have been utilised by numerous nationally known client bodies. Negotiation with the statutory and voluntary ecological bodies is an area of particular expertise.

Within the team of 20 ecologists, we have specialist botanists, zoologists and ornithologists.  We advise on all protected species with particular expertise in bats, great crested newts, badgers, lizards, water voles and white clawed crayfish.  We are experienced in obtaining DEFRA or English Nature licenses when the translocation of protected species is a necessity.

FPCR have an experienced Japanese Knotweed team who can undertake projects on any scale from pre-purchase surveys to assess removal costs to treatment and monitoring services.
