Habitats


Wild Frontier Ecology has a wealth of experience in conducting habitat and vegetation surveys, and we  offer proportionate services to cater for any project. We have worked in lowland and upland habitats across the UK, and have particular expertise with the semi-natural lowland habitats and arable farmland common in East Anglia. 

Members of our staff are highly experienced in National Vegetation Classification (NVC) techniques and have botanical ID qualifications. NVC is the standard method of assigning plant communities.
