Consultation and Advisory Services

Site visits

Our Local Places for Nature Officer is able to meet with you on site and visit all your green spaces. Whilst on site we can look at the existing ecology and consider how you could enhance crate and restore biodiversity by making small changes or embarking on a larger project. Following a site visit you will receive a comprehensive report with practical ideas and advice for how you can take your Biodiversity plans forward. In some instances, only small changes are needed to make a big impact. I work alongside the Local Nature Partnerships in each area as well as the County ecology teams to consider all options available to you.
