SAP Ecology was contracted to provide ecological support and practical solutions for a tree removal operation located within a live commercial site where an active badger sett had been identified in the immediate work area. They were brought in to carry out identification and investigation works, provide practical mitigation solutions, and manage the licence application process required for the safe execution of the project. Throughout the process, SAP Ecology demonstrated a high level of professionalism, knowledge, and clear communication. The advice and guidance provided ensured that all ecological and legal requirements were fully understood while still allowing workable operational solutions to be developed for the client and contractors involved. Their support turned what could have been a highly complex and restrictive situation into a well-managed and achievable project. I would highly recommend SAP Ecology for ecological consultancy work where protected species, commercial operations, and complex site logistics need to be carefully balanced and professionally managed.

We recently commissioned SAP Ecology to undertake a pre-works protected species walkover of a felling site, follow up detailed survey for red squirrels and ecological mitigation advice.
