Nature Restoration and Management
We approach the management and restoration of the countryside and habitats in the right way. Our advice comes from developing a baseline understanding of the land, its heritage, landscape, biodiversity, threats and opportunities, and your needs, to develop an agreed plan that ensures long term success and resilience. In some cases this requires management intervention whilst elsewhere it may be the case that the best thing is to allow natural process to lead the way, supported by monitoring and guidance where required. Our team of specialists and sub-contractors will exceed your expectations.
Johns Associates offers a broad selection of services and ensures we have a clear understanding of the specific requirements of your project and deliver a bespoke and cost-effective service that meets your needs.
Our ecologists, landscape architects, hydrologists and specialist contractors are experienced in both everyday situations and working in the most sensitive of habitats and species. We develop a strong integrated understanding of the environment, threats and opportunities and work with our clients and partners to define and deliver the most appropriate objectives, whether this is hands on management and restoration or a re-wilding based approach. We seek to multiple ecosystem benefits including biodiversity, carbon storage and sequestation, reducing flood risk restoring soils, increasing pollination and food production, conserve landscapes and heritage, increase human wellbeing and building in climate change resilience.
