Hi, my name is Joseph and I’m a student studying MSc Species Identification and Survey Skills at the University of Reading. I’m currently on my placement at Ecology by Design and have decided to write a blog to document my progress.

There are many different types of ecology survey, some are generalist, broadly covering areas and obtaining baseline knowledge of a site whereas others are specialist, often focusing on one species or a small group of species.
New Water Vole Mitigation Handbook published by The Mammal Society provides updated survey and mitigation recommendations for the species when submitting for planning or for other construction activies.
Health and safety is paramount for us to ensure our team work safely and efficiently. Any gadget that can aid us to this end is invaluable. The SPOT Gen 3 is potentially one such product.
This year is going to be really interesting in the ecology world. There are various new and exciting technologies being introduced that could really change the way ecology surveys are conducted.
At Ecology by Design we are really interested in new technologies and innovative ideas to streamline both the ecology services that we offer and the business systems we use behind the scenes. We run a completely paperless cloud based office.
It is that time of year again when ecologists emerge from hibernation and look to plan surveys for the coming season. The first milestone are Great Crested Newts with the survey season spread between mid-March and mid-June.
