For Forest Owners and Contractors

At Veon, we provide ecological consultancy services tailored to the unique demands of the forestry sector, including woodland creation, forest infrastructure development and harvesting.

Forests are dynamic ecosystems that support a rich diversity of protected species such as pine martens, red squirrels, golden eagles, and black grouse. These species are often found in remote areas presenting unique challenges for ecological assessment. Our team is experienced in working within these complex forest environments, navigating rugged terrain to deliver accurate and compliant ecological insights.

Whether you’re managing existing forests or planning new woodland creation, we offer pragmatic and efficient ecological support to help you meet regulatory requirements and sustainability goals.

What Veon Ecology can do for you:

• Protected Species Surveys: We conduct targeted surveys for mammals (e.g. badgers, pine martens, and red squirrels), and nesting birds including raptors and ground nesting species, in line with best practice and regulatory guidance.

•  Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW): Our on-site ecologists provide supervision during sensitive operations to ensure ecological compliance and minimise risk.

• Habitat and Vegetation Surveys:  We carry out NVC and Groundwater Dependent Terrestrial Ecosystem (GWDTE) assessments to inform habitat management and woodland planning.

• Woodland Creation Support: our team provides ecological input for woodland design, ensuring biodiversity enhancement and alignment with environmental legislation.

• GIS Mapping and Reporting: We deliver detailed ecological reports supported by GIS mapping and shapefiles for seamless integration with your planning tools.

• Collaborative Project Delivery: We work closely with forest owners, land managers, and contractors to deliver ecologically sound outcomes that support long-term forest health and compliance.
