About
Experienced ecological advice without the layers of a large consultancy
BMG Ecology is an independent ecological and environmental consultancy. You deal directly with the ecologist handling your project, not an account manager relaying messages.
The practice
A consultancy built around the work, not the overheads
Practical ecological solutions for planning, development and construction across the UK.
BMG Ecology provides professional ecological and environmental consultancy services to support projects from early feasibility and planning through to construction and completion.
Most ecological problems on a development are timing problems. Surveys have seasons, licences have determination periods, and planning committees have dates. The value of an independent consultancy is that the person who understands those constraints is the same person you can get hold of when something changes.
Practical advice. Clear solutions. Positive outcomes.

How we work
What working with us actually looks like
You speak to the ecologist
The person who surveys your site writes the report and answers the planning officer.
Scoping before quoting
We establish what is genuinely required before pricing, rather than quoting for everything.
Timing flagged early
Seasonal constraints are raised at the first conversation, not discovered in month three.
Reports written to be read
Prepared for planning officers and case officers, not only for other ecologists.
Species we survey
The barn owl in our logo is not decorative. It is one of the species we are most often called out to assess.
