Naturally Wild staff have been on site near one of the UK's well known ancient monuments as part of pre-start works aimed at providing ecological and environmental information for this long term high profile project. We are working with our client to provide an innovative solution on a site with high profile protected species and a unique untried approach. Our ecologists are committed to team work to achieve the best possible scheme
Naturally Wild are pleased to be able to offer clients roped access on their projects. We have teamed up with SCA Group on the south coast and are able to undertake surveys and vegitation control works across the UK on all sectors including Road, Rail and Civils. For this project we have worked with SCA, Osborn and other on behalf of Network Rail on a steep cutting in Hampshire where a full suite of ecological works were undertaken.

Recently we have been working on a number of road projects for clients in both north and south from our two main offices. The northern team have been competing survey work on the verges of a major A road linking the east and west coast. The client also asked us to supply images demonstrating the nature of the route.
The Naturally Wild team have been completing significant levels of rail survey works across various elements of work in the south and south west of England. Works have been completed under possession and on night times involving large teams of specialists each working on their own individual specialities but working as a team. The key on large multi-disciplinary projects is TEAM WORK
Despite us technically being outside the bat survey season we are still able to complete emergency or risk assessment surveys for bats. We have recently advised on a possible barn conversion where the issues of bats had been misunderstood by the client and we found one of our target buildings being occupied by a Lesser Horseshoe Bat. This will need 2021 surveys and a licence

Here at Naturally Wild we have an outstanding records of successfully applying for European Protected Species Licences for a whole range of species. The last 12 months has seen a huge number of successful applications for Bat related EPSL's. Although our head office in in Stockton-on-Tess we have an office in the South and are able to deliver our surveys and EPSL works nationwide. This last week saw us working with a long term customer in Worcester where we surveys a private luxury development and obtained a licence for Common Pipistrelle bats. We have completed the required roof strip to ensure that no bats will be harmed during the demolition of a new private dwelling house. Have a long term link with the construction team ensured that all parties knew each other and the project went smoothly. Tom can be seen in in full PPE
In 2010, Naturally Wild were proud to be involved with the ecological works for the Bomber Command Memorial in Green Park, London. The memorial commemorates the crews of the RAF Bomber Command who carried out missions during the Second World War and is dedicated to the 55,573 aircrew who lost their lives. Naturally Wild undertook ecological surveys within Green Park and provided recommendations and compensation measures to aid biodiversity and minimise ecological impacts of the memorial within the surrounding area. Today, the memorial acts as a fitting tribute to the RAF aircrew of the Bomber Command.
Naturally Wild have worked on numerous national infrastructure projects including highways and railway projects. Our ecologists are qualified to work on railways with Personal Track Safety (PTS) certification. As the incumbent ecologist, it is our responsibility to ensure adjacent habitats and wildlife are unaffected by any proposed works. Many projects require species-specific licenses and survey methodology; it can often be surprising to see so much wildlife living undisturbed next to major transport routes!
Naturally Wild have been working alongside Yorkshire Wildlife Park for a number of years. The visitor attraction, based in Doncaster, receives over 600,000 visitors a year and is fast becoming one of the UK’s favourite days out. Naturally Wild have conducted and created a park wide Ecological Management Plan (EMP) as well as ecological appraisals, protected species surveys and ecological recommendations for the park, enhancing the natural habitats within the site. As the park continues to expand, Naturally Wild have been commissioned to carry out ecological appraisals for new attractions, working with YWP to create a haven for both native and exotic wildlife.
