As specialist ecological contractors, working solely in the field of ecology, we have found in a number of cases that our services have enabled clients to develop and grow their companies, by eliminating any concerns or restrictions they may have previously had over implementing practical mitigation schemes.
Get in contact to discuss your project requirements and we will work with you to develop a successful, cost-effective scheme.
Why we do what we do
In the last few decades, a number of species in the UK and across Europe have seen a rapid decline in population, largely due to habitat loss and changes in land use practices. This led to widespread protection in the form of legislation to prevent intentional or reckless harm to a large number of species.
We follow current legislation to help clients protect the wildlife on site whilst enabling the project to continue. This usually involves the creation or enhancement of specific habitats to which species can be translocated, and to compensate for any habitat loss on site.
We help clients to deliver their Biodiversity Net Gain targets, along with any other aspects which are required to ensure that development does not have a detrimental impact on our wildlife.
The requirements will vary for each species and site and will be determined through ecological survey. We work with a variety of species including:
Great crested newt
Reptiles
Badger
Hazel dormouse
Water vole
Bats
Birds

“I run a small ecological consultancy and we've used JHD as a contractor on a number of our projects. They have always quoted competitively, delivered the job to time and budget, and are lovely chaps to deal with. On a number of occasions our clients have gone out of their way to compliment their work. They're also great at finding practical solutions to difficult issues on site.”
