When you take on contractors in the conservation sector, you don\u2019t want just anyone. You want people who care about what they\u2019re doing and understand why they\u2019re doing it. That\u2019s why we\u2019ll only employ qualified ecologists to work on your project. And most of our ecologists have worked with us for years. They\u2019ve been carefully vetted to ensure they hold all the necessary qualifications for the tasks they carry out. And we know they\u2019re reliable and will do excellent work.<\/p>\n

See what our clients say about us<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cVesper Conservation & Ecology have been carrying out scrub clearance for us on chalk grassland sites for the Duke of Burgundy Butterfly. These sites needed very sensitive management, and we were pleased with the way the contracts were delivered.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Dan Hoare, Director of UK Conservation | Butterfly Conservation<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe pricing for the survey was clear and competitive, and it was straightforward to
\narrange logistics and have the survey carried out. The completed survey was passed to the planning service, and we received no follow-up questions from them.
\nWe are content to recommend Vesper Conservation & Ecology.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
