Ecology
Ecological consultancy has grown exponentially
over the last thirty years, driven by the requirements of
increasingly rigorous wildlife legislation. Ecological issues are
now widely recognised as amongst the most complicated affecting
development and management. Whereas once clients needed simple
ecological appraisals or advice on high-profile protected species,
they now require the services of highly experienced consultants who
can provide robust and comprehensive advice on ecological
matters.
Scott Wilson has a long history of providing
objective expert advice on ecological issues. The company has a
range of expertise in terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats
in order to provide a comprehensive and coordinated
service. Our clients include private and public
companies, local government and national government
organisations.
Whatever the ecological issues on a site,
Scott Wilson provides a considered response. We aim to help our
clients to achieve their objectives by providing them with clear
information about how to ensure that any ecological issues on their
sites can be resolved.
Scott Wilson employs over 40 ecologists, with
the aim of using our own staff to carry out most of our work. In
this way, we can guarantee the quality of the work we undertake.
Furthermore, our staff have the advantages of working alongside
other specialist staff, gaining invaluable and up-to-date
understanding of issues of relevance to ecological impact
assessment such as air quality, water quality, noise and vibration
etc. Our senior staff, most of whom have been working for Scott
Wilson for over ten years, are amongst the most senior ecologists
working in the UK consultancy market. Over the years, we have
gained the respect of both our clients and key consultees for our
professional and considered approach to ecological issues.
