Landowner Services

The services we offer to other sectors, such as construction and engineering, can be tailored to suit private clients and landowners, from developing estate management plans and long term monitoring schemes through to large scale restoration as a legacy for the next generations.

Landowners face a number of issues and challenges when a river or wetland is within their ownership. Some examples include:

• Historic mis-management, including dredging, installation of weirs, hard bank protection and straightening, that may have degraded a section of river, meaning it is not as ecologically diverse as it could be.
• Assets at risk of erosion or instability, such as roads, utilities and properties.
• Riverbank erosion from heavy rainfall, high flow flood events or decay of old protection due to age or unsuitability.
• Presence of Non-Native Invasive species such as goldfish or plant species that need treatment or removal
• Requirement for Nutrient neutrality as part of new development or alterations to an existing property
• The specialist knowledge of carrying out environmental monitoring, design and construction for improvements and funding these options can be daunting if you have no previous experience.
