  • We were recently introduced to Connected Ecology. Lee and his team are very professional and passionate about the works they carry out. They took on some mitigation works for us at extremely short notice, and we were very impressed with their pragmatic approach. Moving forward we would be loaved to go anywhere else.

  • I have known Lee at Connected Ecology in various capacities for many years. Lee has always offered a wealth of knowledge in a professional, user-friendly manner. I did some reptile training in a group with Connected Ecology and was given individual attention with information tailored to my personal prior experience. They offer a fantastic range of services. Highly recommended.

  • I engaged this consultancy to provide badger specialist support on a project and were very pleased with the service. Communication was clear and straightforward throughout, and findings were communicated in a practical, accessible way that was genuinely useful for informing the next stages of work. A professional and reliable consultancy - we would definitely use them again for similar projects.
