Wildlife checks before clearance.

We assess potential impacts on wildlife and protected species before work begins. Checks are made site by site, taking account of the vegetation, site conditions, known ecological constraints and the time of year.

Nesting birds

Our teams carry out appropriate visual checks for nesting birds, including ground-nesting birds and nests in trees, hedgerows and dense vegetation. Where active nests are identified or suspected, we review the work and put appropriate precautions in place.

Specialist ecological support

Where protected species, such as great crested newts, are known or suspected to be present, we work alongside suitably qualified ecologists. Where required, they carry out pre-work inspections or surveys, or provide an ecological watching brief during operations.

We also repair and maintain reptile exclusion fencing, under the supervision of appointed ecologists where necessary.

Not every clearance needs a specialist ecological survey. Where site conditions, ecological sensitivities or legal requirements call for further assessment, we make sure appropriate specialist advice and safeguards are in place before proceeding.
