Habitat Creation and Management
We provide a truly complete service, extending beyond a planning consent, to practical on-the-ground implementation
EPR’s Natural Greenspace Team provides the practical land management and ecological contracting elements of our services, meaning you do not need to rely on third party contractors.
Our practical experience of creating and managing habitats means that we know what works and how best to design it, at the planning stage. We seamlessly see projects through planning, design and build to regulatory sign-off.
