Naturally Wild Consultants Ltd was created by Graeme and Julie Skinner in 1998 and has grown from a partnership into a fast-paced expanding company. Whether you need an expert bat survey, a badger survey or just to find out about venomous reptiles, Naturally Wild are the leaders in the field. Over the last 19 years, Graeme has endeavoured to build a company based on ethical values, expert knowledge and a passion for the environment and its inhabitants.
“We are a strong, supportive team of skilled and passionate professionals that work hard to deliver quality and honesty.”
The firm now boasts long-term contracts with Taylor Wimpey in the South-West and South-East of England, whilst also carrying out work for a major company servicing Network Rail contacts in the two southern regions.
Being a forward-thinking company we have teamed up with a CAA approved drone specialist allowing us to undertake HD and UHD videos of projects.
Despite being proud of our major contracts in the South-East and South-West, we’re passionate about Teesside and want to build our business here. We were previously based in the south for five years and had offices in Fareham and Salisbury, but we returned to our roots here on Teesside and we’re committed to remaining here. A number of our biggest clients are based in the South of England but we’ve already proved that the distance has no effect on our ability to deliver a quality service on time.”
Naturally Wild Consultants offer ecological services at any stage of a project from feasibility and advice, through to planning, consultation and implementation. Our expert team of experienced ecologists are trained to help you get your project moving on time, on budget and in line with all current legislation. We are able to assess and interpret ecological issues to inform designs, development applications, management plans and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA).
