Greena Ecological Consultancy was founded in 1997 by Geoff Billington, specialising in high quality data gathering and report writing for bat survey work.
Suitably qualified and experienced teams can be gathered to conduct surveys ranging from a barn conversion to a full radio tracking program as part of an environmental impact assessment.
GreenaEco uses field workers with specific bat knowledge to ensure high quality data gathering, using a range of the latest equipment including bat detectors such as Pettersson D240X, Pettersson D1000X, Bat box Duets, and EcoObs Batcorders.
We record calls using both frequency division and time expansion and we carry out our own computer sound analysis and do not rely solely on Auto ID as this can be very risky as it is often inaccurate.
Greena Ecological Consultancy do not use volunteer or unpaid staff or students to conduct surveys alone and this is to ensure that we maintain high standards. We do train students but never leave them to cope alone, especially when radio tracking surveys are undertaken.
When extra staff are necessary, they are carefully selected for their level of knowledge, ability and experience suitable for the task required and which we think that is especially important for radio tracking projects.
