Client Feedback & Reviews

"We have worked with George & Badger Ecology LTD for many years across multiple projects and can confidently testify to their expertise and professional approach. Their pragmatic problem-solving skills have been invaluable in navigating complex issues, and their commitment to finding workable, effective solutions has always stood out. We would not hesitate to recommend them to our clients and to anyone seeking ecological advice and development solutions."

“Ever since my initial meeting with Badger Ecology and George, they have provided the project with reassurance and confidence that they have the professional competence to complete the work we require. They integrated into our team seamlessly and assisted us in getting the necessary licences and discharging all the conditions. Their knowledge and understanding with the stakeholders helped the project maintain programme and build ability. On our scheme they completed all surveys, rehomed badgers and completed vaccinations and post disturbance monitoring. Badger Ecology will be my go-to for all future badger requirements and licensing work and would confidently recommend them to others.”
