About Us

Who Are We?

Aether Ecology is an independent ecological consultancy based in Bath, Somerset. We provide ecological solutions to deal with all stages planning applications and development proposals that have arisen due to wildlife and protected species constraints. We are focused on providing outstanding services both on behalf of our clients and the environment. We take pride in our work and strive to provide the best possible project outcome from inception to completion.

Responsible

Aether Ecology is an eco-friendly company and we are dedicated to minimising our carbon footprint. We make all efforts to reduce, re-use and recycle wherever possible. This includes sending electronic versions of all correspondence, reports and invoices (unless otherwise requested) which cuts out the need for printing and helps to keep costs low which we then pass on to our clients.

Caring

We always strive to put something back into our environment through our work. We strongly support our local Biodiversity Record Centres (BRCs) and wildlife groups and we will endeavour to contribute our ecological findings (subject to client agreement) for education and conservation purposes and Biodiversity Action Plans (BAPs). We take every opportunity to increase public awareness of our natural surroundings, and we'll happily assist with any general queries about our native wildlife.
