BLADE Ecology Ltd is a CIEEM Registered Practice based in Worcester working on a diverse array of projects. These include large scale housing sites, commercial developments, leisure developments, schools, utilities, habitat banks and barn conversions. We aim to work closely with our clients to achieve their aspirations alongside securing the best outcomes for the environment. With wildlife legislation and policy as our basis, we combine commercial awareness, pragmatism and defensible advice to form our approach.

We work closely alongside BLADE Landscape Architects and BLADE Trees to design high-quality, well thought-out and considered schemes from the start of the design process to make sure our projects are the best they can be. Ecology sits comfortably alongside these disciplines, providing our clients with a 'one contact' experience.
