Heathland Restoration and Management

The Planning Application to build a new home at Wolfs Caves on Jersey’s north coast included an element to restore the coastal slopes in front of the property back into species rich heathland, thereby providing a demonstrable environmental gain, in compliance with the natural environment policies of the Island Plan.

What our client says...

As part of our Planning Application for this site, and in order to comply with Island Policies regarding ‘environmental gain’ when re-developing in the Coastal National Park, we decided to tackle the bracken on the slopes in front of our property on the north coast.

We started working here with Nurture Ecology in 2016, and within three years saw real success with the re-establishment of heather and significant loss of bracken on the upper slopes. Due to this success we have recently agreed to extend this management with Nurture Ecology down the lower slopes.

We have found the Nurture Ecology team to be very helpful and friendly with their advice, and their Lands Team are always punctual, hard-working and reliable…a German like me cant say this often on Jersey

Nurture Ecology were key for us in recommending many environmental enhancement measures that both helped our application pass and also should result in a real boost to the wildlife at our site. We found the whole team passionate about their work and always eager to listen and incorporate our plans. I would definitely recommend Nurture ecology for anyone looking for a similar service

We have worked together with Nurture Ecology on many of our developments across Jersey. The team are pragmatic and professional with their advice whilst maintaining a collaborative and friendly manner.  We would have no hesitation in recommending Nurture Ecology Limited

Nurture Ecology approached the project in a highly professional yet pragmatic manner, ensuring that all the necessary Planning and Parish requirements were fully met with the minimum of input from us. We wouldn’t hesitate to employ them again and can highly recommend them

Nurture Ecology were thorough in their approach enabling the development to progress in the safest of ways. The wildlife mitigation plans put into place have worked extremely well and Jersey Property Holdings are satisfied that the wildlife in the area will continue to thrive.

Jersey Electricity has employed Nurture Ecology for many projects over the past few years. We have worked with them on projects of varying sizes and complexity, involving both ecological consultancy work and land management works. Each time professional, clear and practical advice has been provided, allowing work to progress whilst minimising our impact on the local environment and prevent breach of any wildlife laws
