Ecological Services
At SWS, we understand the importance of preserving and restoring the natural environment. Our ecological services focus on supporting biodiversity through surveys, habitat restoration, and compliance with conservation regulations.
Tailored Ecological Solutions
SWS offers expert ecological services to meet the diverse needs of habitats and species. From comprehensive surveys to fencing and vegetation management, we provide practical solutions that prioritise environmental balance and long-term success.
We provide a range of surveys to help you understand and protect your environment:
- Phase 1 habitat surveys
- Ecological appraisals for planning applications
- Arboriculture and woodland surveys
- Initial site inspections and habitat mapping
- Detailed habitat and species identification
Habitat restoration is key to reversing biodiversity loss. We recreate suitable conditions for habitats to thrive, encouraging colonisation from nearby ecosystems. Long-term management is provided to ensure sustainability.
We manage invasive species such as Japanese knotweed, ragwort, rhododendron, and giant hogweed to protect native ecosystems. Our methods include herbicide application and environmentally responsible disposal, always in compliance with regulations.
Our vegetation management services support habitat restoration and development projects. Sensitive cutting and clearance are conducted following Natural England and Wildlife and Countryside Act guidelines, with options for on-site waste use in habitat enhancement.
Our team conducts comprehensive environmental impact assessments (EIAs) to evaluate how proposed developments or land-use changes will affect local habitats, species, and ecosystems. We provide mitigation strategies to minimise any negative impact.
