RSPB Ecology & Land Management (formerly the Dorset Heathland Project), have been QinetiQ Hurn & Barnsfield Heaths preferred conservation contractor and partner for many years, whether with habitat/land management or survey work. Not only do RSPB provide a high-quality service at a competitive price, but they often go the extra mile in meeting our needs, while being conservation conscious. Whether felling a single tree, or major environmental management work, we look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.”

— Martin Lewis, Head of Site, QinetiQ (MOD Land Management contractor)

We would recommend RSPB Ecology & Land Management as a service provider. We have worked with them and awarded them contracts on numerous occasions over many years, because of them presenting the best value for money for a local authority, coupled with their level of expertise and professionalism.

I chose to use the RSPB for heathland restoration work on BP and Perenco oilfield sites in Dorset because of their professional track record on other sites. They have always worked efficiently, completed work to a high standard and within agreed deadlines. Additionally, the RSPB and their employees come from a strong conservation background, essential I feel when working on sensitive sites – I know that my jobs will not be subcontracted to less able contractors.

The RSPB Ecology & Land Management did a great job, on time and in budget. They always work sensitively on site and are used to special environments where they are able to keep ground disturbance to a minimum. They are also flexible as the job evolved, and were able to accommodate our needs. I would certainly recommend their services. Thanks to Alistair and the team.
