Our Services

At Wildside Ecology,  we work across landscapes and sectors to deliver meaningful ecological outcomes. Whether supporting early-stage design or delivering field-based assessments,  our services are built on ecological rigour,  practical experience,  and a deep commitment to nature.

Ecological Services

From habitat and species surveys to ecological assessments and post-project monitoring, we provide the expertise you need to understand, protect, and manage land and water environments.

Post-Project Monitoring

We monitor how wildlife and habitats respond after a project - helping you understand what’s working, what isn’t, and what nature needs next.

Newt Surveys

We carry out newt surveys to check for the presence of great crested newts and support projects through planning, licensing, and mitigation.

Water Vole & Otter Surveys

We survey for water voles and otters to assess presence, identify habitat use, and help projects stay compliant while supporting thriving riparian wildlife.

Bird Surveys

We carry out bird surveys to understand how birds are using a site - from breeding activity to winter flocks - helping inform conservation decisions and keep projects compliant.

Spotted orchids
Botany Surveys

We carry out botanical surveys to assess habitat quality, track change over time, and inform conservation, restoration, or development decisions.

Spotted orchids
Habitat Surveys

We carry out habitat surveys to understand what's on site, how it's functioning, and how it could be improved — whether for planning, feasibility, BNG, or restoration.

Ecological Assessments

We carry out ecological assessments to understand how a project may affect wildlife and habitats — and how to design better outcomes for biodiversity.

Restoration & Habitat Creation

We design and deliver practical, nature-based solutions - restoring rivers, ponds, and wetlands, creating biodiverse habitats, and helping projects achieve Biodiversity Net Gain and long-term ecological success.

Biodiversity Net Gain

We help deliver Biodiversity Net Gain in ways that are both ecologically meaningful and financially workable, supporting better outcomes for nature and people.

Spotted orchids
Integrated Constructed Wetlands

Designing functioning wetland systems that improve water quality, enhance biodiversity, and deliver landscape-scale ecological benefits.

Spotted orchids
Species reintroduction

Expert support for reintroducing native species - including beavers, hedgehogs and harvest mice - through ecological assessment, licensing, monitoring and community engagement.

Spotted orchids
Rewilding

We support rewilding projects that restore ecosystems, bring wildlife back — and create space for people to reconnect with nature through eco-tourism and Biodiversity Net Gain.

Spotted orchids
River Restoration

We plan and support river restoration projects that bring natural processes back to improve habitat, water quality, and biodiversity.

Spotted orchids
Wetland Creation

We design and support wetland creation projects that deliver for wildlife, water quality, and climate, from small scrapes to landscape-scale systems.

Spotted orchids
Pond Restoration

We restore ponds to bring back clean water, native plants, and the wildlife that depends on them - from dragonflies to great crested newts.

Spotted orchids
Invasive Species

Helping restore balance by identifying, managing and removing invasive species with minimal impact - supporting long-term recovery of native habitats and biodiversity.
