Invertebrates
At Elite Ecology, we provide professional invertebrate surveys to assess species diversity, population health, and habitat quality for planning applications, conservation projects, and land management. Invertebrates play a crucial role in ecosystems, acting as pollinators, decomposers, and a vital food source for other wildlife. Their presence can be an important indicator of environmental health and biodiversity.
Why Are Invertebrate Surveys Important?
​
Many invertebrate species are protected under UK law, including the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and the Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2001. Additionally, some species are listed as UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UK BAP) priority species, meaning they must be considered during the planning and development process to prevent habitat destruction and population decline.
​
Invertebrate Surveys
​
Our expert ecologists conduct detailed invertebrate assessments using industry-approved techniques such as pitfall trapping, sweep netting, and direct observation. We specialise in identifying protected, rare, and priority species, ensuring full compliance with planning regulations and conservation guidelines.
Whether you require an invertebrate survey for biodiversity monitoring, habitat management, or planning approval, our team provides accurate, site-specific reports to support your project’s ecological responsibilities.
​
​We are licensed to carry out invertebrate surveys in Staffordshire and anywhere else in the UK, and our prices start at £350.
