We are also experienced in assessing the impacts of herbivores over a wide range of habitats including woodlands and upland habitats, producing maps to illustrate impacts across the site. These HIA surveys are valuable for informing management of a site or estate.

We cater for all sizes of project from small development sites and cycleways to large onshore wind farms and road schemes.
