A Different Kind of Consultancy
This is not general ecological consultancy. The focus is on specialist knowledge, interpretation, and methodological insight, rather than routine survey delivery:
- Locating and confirming the presence of animals through tracking techniques. Including escaped, rare or invasive species.
- Advanced interpretation of tracks, sign, and animal behaviour
