If I know that Pete will be undertaking a site visit or completing reporting on our behalf, I know that I can trust him to get the job done and feel confident that it will be to the high standard that I would expect from any of our senior in-house staff. He is thorough, diligent and reliable. Working with Pete is a breath of fresh air! I would have no hesitation in recommending his services.”

“Pete Etheridge is a trusted ecologist who did the environmental assessment for our successful planning application. Pete also had fantastic advice on how to do our barn conversion without disruption to local wildlife and helped us see what we could do to incorporate owls, bats, swallows and swifts into the design of our house and garden. A real pleasure to work with and a delight to learn from his treasure trove of knowledge! Thanks Pete.”
