Acer Ecology is an ecological and wildlife consultancy with our main offices in Cardiff and Bristol. We also have a number of home-based ecologists throughout the UK. We can assist you by providing a full range of ecological and wildlife services from scoping and protected species surveys through to impact assessment, mitigation design, implementation, and monitoring. We can help make your journey through planning as painless as possible.
All specialist ecological areas are covered including bats, birds, great crested newts, dormouse, reptiles, water voles, badgers and invertebrates. As an ecological consultancy, the majority of our work is related to a wide range of planning and development projects from residential housing to renewable energy.
