Bat survey season update 04.08.26
Bat survey season is almost finished for this year and it restarts in May 2027. We now have very limited availability for Phase 2 bat surveys this year and we recommend that you reach out to multiple ecologists at this time of year if you require bat surveys urgently, because we may not be in a position to take on your project. Our availability will depend on the nature and size of your project, location, and how many surveys you require.
01.09.26 to 31.10.26
Every year we spend a great deal of our time during the autumn on construction sites undertaking bat mitigation work on projects with bats. As a result of this, we will only have capacity to take on a limited number of new clients and preliminary bat survey work during this time.
Thank you for your understanding.

Seasonal Subcontractors
Ecology is a very broad discipline. For this reason, we regularly collaborate with a range of specialists to ensure each project benefits from the right expertise. By working closely with trusted associates, we provide high-quality ecological advice across a wide range of habitats and protected species.
Our subcontractor ecologists include experienced freelance bat surveyors and species specialists with expertise in areas such as barn owls, great crested newts, dormice, and Biodiversity Net Gain and habitat creation.
Imprint Ecology values building long-term, supportive relationships with the subcontractors we work with, creating a trusted network where knowledge, experience and opportunities are shared.
If you are interested in joining our seasonal subcontractor team, we would love to hear from you. Please get in touch with a short introduction to your background, your location, and your typical day rates or services offered.
