About Gould Ecology

---

Gould Ecology is an ecological consultancy established in 2004. We offer ecological surveys and assessments to support planning applications, and assist with protected species issues and habitat management to support wildlife.
Our experienced ecologists can offer pragmatic advice and a personal, cost effective service across England and Wales.

Gould Ecology's services include Phase 1 Habitat survey, Protected Species survey (Bats, Great Crested newt, Reptiles, Dormouse, Badger, Otter, Water vole), Ecological reports to support BREEAM/ Code for Sustainable Homes assessments, Protected species mitigation and licensing and Habitat management.

As many ecological surveys are constrained by the time of year, we are happy to offer free initial advice early on in the planning process, in order to help plan your time and budget.
