Wind Farm EcIA

 

Wild Frontier Ecology began working on wind farm projects in 2003 and has evolved a specialisation in assessing wind turbine developments (single and multi-turbine projects). We have been involved in the assessment of over 100 potential wind farm sites.

Our accumulated expertise means that we can provide skilled services and advice to developers throughout the life of the project, from the layout design phases through to the preparation of Environmental Statement chapters and expert witness duties at public inquiries.
