What we do
All projects, great and small
From rural and urban subdivisions and development projects to infrastructure upgrades, we find the ecological constraints early so your project doesn’t stall later.
Preliminary feasibility checks and full assessments of ecological effects for subdivision, land-use and infrastructure consents.
Field-captured data turned into clear maps and plans that drop straight into your scheme plan or CAD.
Is it a wetland or just wet pasture? Delineation to the national protocols, with clear mapping you can take to council with confidence.
Planting, fencing and pest-control plans that meet consent conditions and actually establish on the ground.
Lizard, fish, bird and bat surveys and management plans, including salvage and relocation where it’s needed.
Planting and pest monitoring, condition compliance and completion reports to sign off your consent.
How it works
Three steps, no surprises
01
Site visit & desktop check
We walk the site, check the records and tell you early what matters ecologically and what doesn’t.
02
Assessment & reporting
Surveys, mapping and a report written for the consent pathway you’re on, scaled to the risk.
03
Consent support & follow-through
s92 responses, conditions, management plans and completion reports, so the job is actually finished.
New service
Pekapeka on the radar
Felling trees on your site? Long-tailed bats roost in pines, poplars and shelterbelts as well as native bush. We check whether the DOC Bat Roost Protocols apply first, and only recommend surveys where they’re genuinely needed.
About
Hi, I’m Maddy.
I’m the Principal Ecologist at Wild Ecology, based in Mangawhai. I work with landowners, planners, surveyors and engineers to get ecology sorted early, so projects move through consenting without nasty surprises.
Where a job needs extra hands or specialist skills, I bring in trusted ecologists from my wider network, often at short notice.
