2017 Great Crested Newt Survey Season getting underway

Now we are into the first week of March, the signs of spring are everywhere.
​For an ecological consultant, one of the important aspects of spring is the start of a new survey season, with the traditional surveys for great crested newt taking place between mid-March and mid-June. 

Here at Huckle Ecology, we are ready to start these surveys with relish, and are also looking forward to undertaking a few Environmental DNA surveys of ponds.  These surveys, involve taking water samples of ponds, with the water being tested for the presence of DNA of GCN - in many cases, a positive or negative result can lead to cost effective assessment of potential impacts.

​If you need great crested newt surveys in 2017, it is still not too late to get them commissioned.  Please get in touch via our contact page or email on [email protected].
