What we do

Southwest Ecologists provides experienced, site-based ecological support to construction and development projects across the South West & beyond. We specialise in ecological supervision, protected species mitigation, and habitat delivery — bridging the gap between ecological planning and what actually happens on the ground.


We work with developers, contractors, landowners and ecological consultancies to ensure that planning conditions, protected species licences and ecological mitigation strategies are delivered legally, efficiently and without unnecessary delay. 


Our main services include:

- Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW) & construction-phase compliance 

- Protected species surveys and monitoring

-  Protected species mitigation and licensing support 

-  Habitat creation, restoration, and enhancement works


We do not undertake Preliminary Ecological Appraisals or Biodiversity Net Gain assessments. 

Instead, we focus on delivering the ecological measures that those reports require on site — providing practical, field-based ecological expertise where it matters most.

Why choose Southwest Ecologists?

Practical Ecology for Live Sites

Our work is focused on the stages of a project where ecological risk is highest — during construction, vegetation clearance, groundworks and habitat restoration.


We are trusted on projects where:


  • Ecological compliance is critical to programme delivery
     
  • Protected species are present
     
  • Construction is taking place in sensitive environments
     
  • Practical, real-time ecological judgement is required
     

Recent projects include:


  • Lead Licensed Ecologist for a nationally significant highway scheme involving a pioneering Hazel Dormouse translocation
     
  • Ecological compliance and Schedule 1 bird monitoring on large solar farm developments
     
  • Protected species mitigation and ECoW support for infrastructure and utilities projects
     
  • Landscape-scale wetland and habitat creation to support priority species
     

This experience allows us to provide clear, confident, site-based ecological advice — keeping projects moving while ensuring wildlife and legal obligations are properly protected.
