My aim is to provide a pragmatic 'can do' approach to consultancy and to deliver innovative solutions to clients. Jonathan is a full member of the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) and a Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) and has many years of experience in ecological consultancy and local authority planning and ecology, having worked across the UK and Australia for large multi-disciplinary consultancies, on a range of projects and as an ecologist for a local planning authority. As an ecologist and wildlife surveyor I can provide a range of professional ecological services and advice, including surveys for a range of species and habitats across the UK and I hold personal survey licences for bats, barn owls and great crested newts.
