Our staff were lucky to spot these beautiful Diamond Firetails (Stagonopleura guttata) whilst conducting a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) in Central NSW.

Over Christmas, East Coast Ecology’s staff were out surveying the Green and Golden Bell Frog (Litoria aurea) on NSW’s south coast.

We got the chance to survey the local occurrence of Needle Geebung (Persoonia acerosa) at a Priority Management Site this week!

Our Principal Ecologist, Dr Jack Tatler, was out on the boat this week surveying microbats under a bridge in Sydney.

Cave-roosting microbats will use artificial caves; including culverts, bridges and buildings that offer equivalent microclimates to their natural cave habitats. In urban areas, some species of microbat are heavily reliant on these man-made habitats, due in large part to a steady decline of natural caves suitable for these species.

Our client engaged East Coast Ecology to identify any presence of microbats and their habitats, before they commence routine maintenance on the bridge.

East Coast Ecology worked on a great project recently which investigated the ecological opportunities for a development site in western Sydney. Certain types of developments require developers to satisfy a more stringent set of environmental obligations that revolve around sustainability and promotion of the site’s ecological values. In this case, our client wants to build eco-tourist facilities to capitalise on the natural beauty of the 25ha property.

East Coast Ecology outline everything you need to know about the NSW Offsets Scheme, as per the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 (NSW).

Last week, East Coast Ecology undertook vegetation mapping of a 700ha site near the Piliga (central-west NSW), to provide greater insight into whether the establishment of a Biodiversity Stewardship Site would be feasible.
