Ecological consultancy

Drawing on the expertise of our ecologists, the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales offers a range of professional ecological consultancy services to both public and private sector clients. Today, many wildlife species and habitats are protected by national and international legislation, which can pose a potential problem to developers if not identified at an early stage. When identified at an early stage, opportunities exist to enhance schemes through appropriate mitigation measures, for the benefit of the development and for wildlife.

Advice on Local Wildlife Sites

Local Wildlife Sites are a way of recognising some of the best places for wildlife locally. They are areas considered to be of particular conservation value because of the habitats or species they support. Local Wildlife Sites play a crucial role by providing wildlife refuges, protecting threatened species and habitats, and acting as links and corridors between other valuable sites.
