About Thomson Habitats
What we do
Thomson Habitats carries out the practical side of wildlife mitigation projects, including habitat creation and restoration, and environmental mitigation work.
Along with our sister company Thomson Ecology, who specialize in both terrestrial and marine ecology, we offer a total solution to ecological issues, by means of environmental management on brownfield, greenfield and marine sites.
Our clients include major developers, engineers and ecology consultancies, utilities companies, planners, landscape architects and local and national government.
Habitat creation
We design, create and restore habitats for wildlife on both brownfield and rural sites for a wide range of private and public sector clients.
Our habitat creation projects have included: artificial badger setts, water voles ditches, bird and bat boxes, herptile hibernacula, ponds, wetland habitat areas, mixed habitat over extensive areas, grasslands and meadows.
We also carry out countryside management and soft landscaping including tree and shrub planting. We can rely on our colleagues in Thomson Ecology for ecological advice that is up to date and practical.
Contracting
We undertake practical work to turn ecological plans into practice. We support ecologists with protected species trapping and moving.
We provide all sorts of fencing for collecting and managing wildlife (including reptile fencing, newt fencing, water vole fencing and stock fencing amongst others).
We identify and treat invasive plants and species, including Japanese knotweed.
We have a dedicated team of arboriculturists who can carry out condition monitoring and surveys as well as practical tree management works.
Our teams have worked with a wide range of clients all over the UK, from public agencies to individual landowners, local and national government, developers, contractors and consultancies.
Mitigation
When development works adversely impact protected species and their habitats, measures can be taken to mitigate damage.
We carry out a range of practical services which help mitigate the impact that development works can have on flora and fauna. As well as helping in trapping and translocation, we create areas that provide habitat for a wide range of scarce and protected mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and scarce plants.
