🎉 A birthday, a new chapter, and a new beginning 🎉
Today is my birthday, every year I reflect on the year that has passed and look forward to the year ahead. Today seemed like the perfect time to announce the start of a new beginning for me. I’m excited to officially introduce Cloverwood Ecology Ltd, my freelance ecology company.
After many years working in ecological consultancy, supporting a wide range of development projects, I’ve decided to take the next step and offer my expertise independently. Through Cloverwood Ecology Ltd, I’m now operating as a freelance ecologist supporting ecological consultants as a sub-consultant and helping clients navigate the ecological side of their planning application.
I’m an Associate member of CIEEM and I have protected species licences including Bat Class 2 (CL18), Hazel Dormice (CL10a), and Great Crested Newts (CL08). I’m experienced in carrying out Preliminary Ecological Appraisals, Biodiversity Net Gain Assessments, protected species surveys, and other ecological services.
As Cloverwood Ecology Ltd begins, I’m really looking forward to the year ahead — new projects, new collaborations, and continuing to do work that supports nature-positive development.
If you’re an ecological consultant looking for reliable survey support, or if you have a project in need of ecological input, I’d be very happy to connect. You can find more information about Cloverwood Ecology Ltd and the services I offer on my website here: www.cloverwoodecology.co.uk
