In that time the consultancy has established itself as one of the most respected consultancies in the north of England and the UK as a whole.

The company has been involved in a wide range of ecological work, from Environmental Impact Assessment of major roads schemes and quarries, vegetation surveys of extensive areas of moorland, fine scale surveys of complex sites, devising and conducting vegetation monitoring schemes, nature reserve management planning, technical authorship and representation at public inquiry, to the training of personnel in vegetation survey techniques.
