Defra's national woodland survey 2010-2012
PTYXIS are lead surveyors on a major project aiming to capture evidence of the extent, condition and trends across the whole resource of non SSSI woodland types (BAP broad habitat, BAP priority habitat and Annex I habitat types) in England and Wales. We are working with leading woodland expert George Peterken to develop the survey methodology, and the project is managed by ExeGesIS.
PTYXIS completed a NVC survey of the vegetation communities present at this disused limestone quarry. We also advised on the grassland restoration and habitat re-creation scheme design. Read more
