Core survey activities and support work covered under the framework include:
- preliminary ecological assessments
- UK habitat assessments
- ecological supervision of vegetation clearance
- production of biodiversity enhancement plans
- production of Biodiversity Action Plans
- species specific surveys (bat, great crested newt, badger etc)
