Forestry England have a requirement for a framework for specialist ecological surveys in the South England Forest District (SEFD). The aim of this framework is to secure a resource to provide site-specific survey, advice and/or mitigation options for sites within SEFD (predominantly within the Crown Lands of the New Forest) where standard forestry operations, habitat restoration work, planning applications, buildings maintenance and/or Open Forest management activities may impact on rare and/or protected species.

This will be evaluated as part of the tender selection process.
