BeeOsurvey

Detailed on-site ecological inventories carried out by experienced ecologists. Document the species, habitats and ecological potential of your site — across all taxa such as plants, birds, insects and mammals — to satisfy regulatory and permit requirements, unlock certifications such as BREEAM, and design a management plan that maximises positive impact on biodiversity while respecting the constraints and specificities of your site.

Why BeeOsurvey

  • Meet regulatory & permit requirements

    Environmental permits, planning applications and impact assessments increasingly call for a qualified ecological inventory of the site. BeeOsurvey delivers the independent, defensible baseline authorities expect — carried out by experienced ecologists.

  • Unlock certifications & labels

    Biodiversity credits under labels such as BREEAM require a survey by a Suitably Qualified Ecologist (SQE). Our ecologists meet that definition, so your inventory counts towards certification from the outset.

  • Turn the inventory into an actionable site plan

    A precise picture of species, habitats and their ecological potential lets us design a development and management plan that maximises positive impact on biodiversity — while working with, not against, the constraints and specificities of your site.

  • Establish a baseline & prove impact over time

    A rigorous T0 gives you a credible reference point to demonstrate the impact of the actions taken, engage stakeholders, and report with confidence to regulators, investors and communities — creating both economic and social value.

What you get

A single, auditable ecological report — presented and discussed in a dedicated restitution meeting.

It includes

  • A complete species inventory and recorded plant–pollinator interactions
  • Habitat characterisation and ecological potential, such as the Shannon index and protection / conservation status at EU, national and regional level
  • Quantified indicators such as species richness, abundance and heritage / indicator-species richness, compared across parcels
  • A prioritised management and development plan tailored to your site
  • Dashboard access to centralise and track your data over time

The process

  1. Territory analysis

    A cartographic and bibliographic desk study connects your site to the surrounding ecosystems and habitats, clarifies its role in the ecological network, and defines the sampling plan for the field campaigns.

  2. Field inventory

    Experienced ecologists survey the site over — typically — two campaigns in spring and summer, using the most appropriate methods for each taxonomic group, such as transects, quadrats, point-abundance indices and entomological nets. Direct observation is favoured.

  3. Characterisation & indicators

    Species data is cross-referenced with protection and conservation status and translated into recognised indicators. We assess the ecological interest of each habitat to determine and prioritise the most suitable management measures.

  4. Report, plan & restitution

    You receive a comprehensive report, KPIs, dashboard access and a prioritised management and development plan — presented and discussed in a dedicated restitution meeting with our experts.
