Practical habitat management for landowners and farmers
As biodiversity net gain requirements and habitat protection obligations grow, landowners and farmers across Hampshire face increasing responsibility for how their land is managed.
We provide practical, long-term habitat management plans and ongoing land management that is compliant, realistic and genuinely beneficial to the environment, without compromising your agricultural operation.

We work with ecological businesses and their planning teams to carry out the site works and vegetation clearance required to satisfy planning conditions and legislation. We have experience relocating wildlife through vegetation management.
Common questions about habitat and ecological services
Can you carry out vegetation clearance in compliance with wildlife legislation?
Yes. All vegetation clearance is carried out methodically and in full compliance with relevant wildlife legislation, including protections for nesting birds, protected species and designated habitats. We work to timelines that respect seasonal restrictions and protect your planning position.
Do you work alongside planning consultants and ecologists?
Yes, we regularly work as part of a developer’s wider project team, alongside planning consultants, ecologists and architects. We understand the documentation requirements and are experienced in working to project timelines where planning conditions have hard deadlines.
What areas do you cover for habitat and ecological work?
We work across Hampshire, including the South Downs, Test Valley, New Forest fringe and North Hampshire, and into Surrey, Wiltshire and Dorset. Please contact us to discuss your land and location.
