Preliminary Ecological Appraisal
Often the first step in understanding what's on site. A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (PEA) involves a walkover to identify and map habitats and field signs of any species present.
The results of the PEA are presented in a report, clearly stating the findings and recommendations for any future surveys.
Certhia Ecology have undertaken numerous PEAs in a wide variety of habitats across the UK. We use mobile mapping software in order to produce a detailed and accurate map of the site.
