Bat Houses

A large part of the work the Environment Systems ecology team carries out involves bat surveys of buildings requiring renovation, demolition, restoration or conversion. We also help design and project manage bat mitigation measures, including providing replacement bat roosts and subsequent population monitoring.

Mapping Risk to Water Quality

A large amount of the water we drink comes from rivers and reservoirs. Although this water passes through complex treatment processes to make it safe to drink, the time, effort and cost of these processes depends on the quality of the raw water. Human activities, in particular farming, can affect water quality by increasing the risk of soil mobilisation.
