AEWC Ltd is an independent Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire based ecological consultancy conducting surveys predominantly across Central and South East UK. With over 40 years’ combined experience in ecology and environmental conservation, our small team of expert consultants are well versed on projects ranging from large scale infrastructure to small-scale domestic works. We offer a full range of ecological and protected species services, and specialise in advanced bat surveys. Over the last year we have worked on over 200 projects involving work on a range of protected species. Including advanced bat surveys, trapping over 1000 bats. Over the last few years we have radio-tracked over 200 bats of 12 species.

We have an extensive client base ranging from large engineering firms to homeowners. Having worked with so many clients on such a vast array of projects has allowed us to fine-tune our survey methods to be scalable to suit every situation.
