At Solent Ecology, we are passionate about helping restore and enhance natural habitats. Whether you’re working on a small-scale habitat conservation project or a landscape scale nature recovery project, we offer comprehensive support and expertise; from project development advice, project management and successive monitoring.
Our Nature Recovery Project Services Include
Initial Advice & Baselining
We begin by working closely with you to understand your goals and objectives. We provide expert advice on the feasibility of your restoration project, assessing the current condition of the land and advising on the best approaches to create and restore habitats. This initial phase includes ecological assessments, site visits, and recommendations on suitable management and interventions that will deliver the greatest environmental benefit.
Habitat & Species Baseline Surveys
Before undertaking any restoration work, we conduct thorough surveys to assess the existing biodiversity and identify the presence of protected and notable species. Our surveys provide a clear picture of the current state of the land, allowing us to develop a strategy for restoration that considers the existing habitat and the wildlife that depends on it.
Restoration and Management Plans
Once we’ve gathered all the necessary information, we will develop a detailed restoration plan bespoke to your site. This plan will outline the restoration techniques, management actions, and key milestones. Whether it’s wetland restoration, woodland management, chalk grassland recovery, or the creation of wildlife corridors, we design a plan that integrates your restoration objectives with environmental best practices.
Monitoring & Post-Restoration Evaluation
Ongoing monitoring is essential to assess the success of any project and aids in making decisions on changing things. Our monitoring services include regular site visits, species tracking, vegetation surveys, and condition assessments. We’ll provide you with detailed reports on the progress of the restoration, including recommendations for future management to maintain and further improve the restored environment.
We understand that every site is unique, so we provide bespoke advice and plans that address the specific needs of your restoration project. From initial advice and surveys to management planning and monitoring, we offer a full suite of services to support your nature restoration project.
