Species

Great crested newt

Great Crested Newt Survey

The great crested newt is fully protected under the the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, as amended.

The life cycle of the great crested newt is more complicated than many species since they are found in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats and often require extensive areas of habitat to support their populations. Great crested newts are found throughout mainland Britain but are often very localised in their distribution. They are absent from Ireland. Ecosulis offers ecological services for this species including great crested newt surveys, mitigation, fencing and translocation.

Ecosulis employs ecologists working under licences from Natural England and Countryside Council for Wales, and offers services including:
