Glaven Ecology
About

ABOUT US

We are a small, independent ecological consultancy based in Holt, North Norfolk offering a range of ecological assessment and ecology surveys.

We work throughout East Anglia and Lincolnshire with the capacity to work further afield when required. 

 

We are proud to be a Registered Practice with the  Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management. As members of CIEEM we adhere to their Professional Code of Conduct.

 

Experienced in ecology surveys, protected species survey work and report writing we also pride ourselves on our client liaison and customer care.

 

We are fully insured holding both Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance.

 

We aim to get back to you within 24 hours of an ecology survey to feedback any headline findings so there are never any surprises.

We will issue our initial draft report within ten workings days of a site visit to give you time to digest it and ask questions before we issue the final version.
