It’s a Happy Christmas for Geckoella’s surveyors as they all received some lovely Christmas cards from the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland!
Every ecologist in Geckoella is now accredited at FISC 3 or above – which means they are competent for habitat and plant species surveys at standard (eg UKHabs) and higher (eg NVC) levels.
Well done Josh Butterworth, our Senior Ecologist, who steered the team through our botanical training sessions in 2023, and to the whole team who worked really hard to learn those plants and develop their skills. Just in time for mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain too, and we already have some cracking botanical surveys lined up for 2024, including some large-scale habitat surveys to support and evaluate nature recovery projects.
