ADAS Ecology Awareness

ADAS offers a bespoke one-day Ecology Awareness training course, tailored to your company’s needs and delivered by one of our senior ecology consultants.

The focus of the course is on understanding ecological legal requirements in relation to your company’s activities. The course includes identifying and working in or near protected habitats, protected species field-signs, timings of protected species surveys, working with or in the vicinity of protected species, mitigation to avoid or minimise affects on protected species and habitats and discussion time.

Where appropriate and possible, the course includes a field-session. The latter is particularly useful in bringing to life the lessons learned in the class-room session or in the course of peoples own work experiences.

Attendees, typically 15-20 in number, are invited to make the training a two-way process, bringing their own experiences into the discussion sessions. A certificate of attendance is issued to all participants.

The course aims to improve understanding of and compliance with environmental legislation, facilitate better work planning, reduce avoidable project delays, improve relations with authorities, reduce customer complaints, improve profile/reputation of company and improve working practices which will demonstrate a duty of care and adherence to company environmental policies.
