Ecology Services
Regulatory compliance and care for the natural world
House building, road building, land use change, waterways management – human activity never stops, and responsible developers know the importance of obeying environmental protection regulations to avoid unnecessary harm – and unnecessary cost.
There is increasing interest in habitat regeneration, and we advise on the improvement of habitats and the establishment of new habitat in a wide range of settings. We can also help developers come to terms with emerging requirements for ‘biodiversity net gain’ in planning, and design schemes that meet these requirements.

The ecology of the planet encompasses the most important connections in our world. Ecology traces a network throughout the natural environment, between wild animals and their habitats, as well as between us, our food supply, and our built environment. Ecological awareness is at the heart of sustainable growth, and sound environmental and economic policymaking. It concerns the world as a whole, yet each of us operates inside our own unique ecological niche.
Developing a meaningful understanding of the ecological context of your business can be the difference between making headway, and really getting ahead. Treligan optimises business practice and enhances decision making by utilising your organisation’s unique ecological network. Navigating the complexities of your organisation’s ecology, including natural and manufactured environments, its business ecosystem including extant regulatory frameworks, Treligan provides bespoke solutions for modern day projects.
Becoming a sustainable business includes ensuring reliability and longevity of supply, whilst reducing or negating harmful environmental outputs from sourcing and distribution. Conservation of the natural environment is macro-sustainability, attempting to ensure stability between human and wildlife habitats at national and global levels. At a local level, contributions towards this “big picture” can seem nebulous, or downright futile. Ecological services can help to identify those changes that each individual, workplace, or senior team can introduce to make a difference as part of the day-to-day.
Through the fostering of environmental stability and social cohesion, Treligan believes sustainable means of producing and delivering goods and services can create new opportunities for businesses and people everywhere.
Ecological Surveys
Understanding natural habitats and biodiversity is not only often a legal requirement, for land-based businesses it is also an opportunity to better understand how the the interactions between business needs, people, and the natural environment work and where conflicts may lie. Survey is the first step towards developing workable mitigations and measures to secure economic as well as ecological sustainability.
