Benchmark Ecology is an ecological consultancy providing a range of services for both the private and public sector.

‘Wildlife on your Doorstep’ is aimed at individuals and small businesses interested in the native plants and other wildlife of their own garden, grounds, fields or estate.  Following a site visit and walk over the property, Benchmark Ecology can produce all or some of the following:

• Detailed wild flower and other wildlife
• Brief report highlighting the most notable wildlife features
• A stylised and annotated map
• A leaflet with summary and map
