The medieval city of Salisbury lies in a valley in the south east of Wiltshire and is dominated by the impressive 123 metre spire of Salisbury Cathedral. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Stonehenge is located just 8 miles away and the city itself serves as a popular access hub to the south coast.

​

West Country Ecology is well appointed to conduct ecological surveys in Salisbury and the surrounding area. If you require assistance with a bat survey, great crested newt survey or habitat assessment please speak to a member of our team to see how we can help.

​

All species of British bats and their roosts are protected by law with legislation in place to safeguard their conservation status and ensure their future survival. Due to the nature of their roosting habits bats can be drawn in to contact with human develop and infrastructure. This means a proven and expert approach is required to intervene, thus allowing you to lawfully proceed with your project.

​

West Country Ecology prides itself on our ability to do this work whilst remaining sympathetic to the needs of our clients and the cost or time constraints of their projects. Every aspect of bat work is covered by our licensed team, including:

​

• Preliminary Roost Assessments (PRA’s)

• Nocturnal Surveys (dusk emergence surveys & dawn re-entry surveys)

• Transect Surveys

• Swift and concise report writing

• European Protected Species Licence (EPSL) applications
