Ecological & Environmental Surveys​

Fast, high-resolution data capture for habitat mapping, species monitoring, and restoration planning, all with minimal disturbance to

 

sensitive sites.​​​

How We Can Help

Ecological drone surveys offer a smarter way to understand complex landscapes and monitor wildlife. Using thermal, RGB, multispectral and RTK-enabled mapping drones, we deliver actionable data to ecologists, planners and land managers — faster, safer and more accurately than traditional ground surveys.

​

Whether you’re assessing biodiversity net gain, monitoring habitat condition, or conducting protected species surveys, we help you cover more ground in less time, with minimal intrusion.

Better Data, Less Disturbance and No Missed Details

 

Traditional ecological surveys can be slow, incomplete, and logistically difficult — especially on large or sensitive sites. Without aerial data, teams may miss habitat details, miscount wildlife, or rely on rough estimates that delay approvals and weaken reports.

​

Ask yourself:

  • Are you missing a clear baseline for habitat condition or extent?

  • Is ground access limited due to terrain, permissions, or safety concerns?

  • Are your biodiversity net gain calculations based on partial or outdated data?

  • Do you struggle to detect or monitor wildlife without disturbing it?

  • Are repeat surveys difficult or too labour-intensive to justify?

 

Drone surveys solve these challenges by delivering repeatable, high-resolution data from above — without trampling habitats or stressing wildlife. We provide the imagery, models, and thermal analysis you need to make ecological decisions with confidence.

We deliver high-quality ecological data without delays, disturbance, or the guesswork of manual surveys. Our drone workflows let you monitor habitats, detect wildlife, and assess environmental change with accuracy that stands up to regulatory scrutiny.

 

This service is ideal for:

  • Baseline habitat mapping and condition assessments

  • Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) monitoring

  • Protected species surveys (e.g. bats, deer, badgers, birds)

  • Vegetation health analysis using NDVI/multispectral imaging

  • Wildlife detection using thermal sensors

  • Restoration tracking and erosion/change monitoring

  • Invasive species mapping

  • Waterbody inspections and water quality analysis

 

What we deliver:

  • High-resolution orthomosaic maps

  • Annotated habitat classification layers

  • Geo-referenced NDVI or multispectral index maps

  • Thermal image sets and video with verified species detections

  • 3D terrain or canopy models

  • Time-series change monitoring maps

  • Reports and shapefiles compatible with GIS, BNG tools, and planning portals

 

We tailor every survey to the ecology of the site, ensuring legal compliance, minimal disturbance, and results you can rely on.
