SERVICES
Welcome to Ecology On Demand®. I want to be your ecological trouble shooter! After 21 years' experience of surveys - mostly for bats - I want to use my experience to help other people with challenges and conflict. I can join a project team as a specialist advisor, help prepare and review policies and protocols, provide training, or even provide ad hoc Principal Ecologist support to junior staff during senior staff absences. Got a protected species emergency - give me a call!
If you want ecological surveys for planning applications then don't ask me (try the professional directory at cieem.net).

We all write a lot of reports, but how clear is your writing style? Are you using too many words or not making the key points obvious enough. With 20 years of experience and over 1000 surveys under my belt, let me help you refine your reports. I can also help you avoid the top three mistakes that many ecological reports make. I can review a single report, or send a few over so we can talk over general style and report template issues. Two hours will include my review and feedback - if more work is needed or it's more complex - let's talk!
European Protected Species License applications are complex, and we all feel the pressure when the client needs to get started: just the licence stands between you and the client to get things moving. Let me help you iron out any problems and make sure your application is clear and complete. With EPSLs for sixteen bat species under my belt, I have dealt with most of challenges before, including rare species, emergency licenses and planning condition/EPSL incompatibility issues. Two hours will include my review and feedback - if more work is needed or it's more complex - let's talk!
The technology available is amazing - so many makes and brands, different software. But what to buy, are the expensive units really worth it, what about software. In this 1-1.5 hour session via phone or Skype, I will review your existing equipment and experience and go through some of the most appropriate options for your budget, skill level, and requirement. Also how not to fall into the biggest purchasing trap that nobody ever tells you about!
You've done the bat surveys, written the report, now it comes to designing the mitigation. With experience gained over more than 21 years of commercial bat survey experience, I will help you assess what is needed based on your survey results, clients requirements and the EPSL and planning process to help you decide on a proportionate and effective mitigation scheme, including monitoring and auditing.
How about some unbiased comments on your career progression choices, or someone to look over your CV. With almost two decades in the environment business including interviewing in commercial, governmental and national charity sectors - I can shine a light on what makes a person really stand out.
