Ecoscape is excited to announce we have added seven new staff to expand our already impressive environmental consulting department. All seven of the new staff are previous employees of ecologia Environment, bringing with them a range of new skills and valuable experience in all areas of environmental work in Perth, throughout Western Australia and internationally.
Our new staff elevates our already industry leading flora expertise adding additional taxonomic capability and more comprehensive environmental approval experience and coastal management expertise to our capabilities. The additions to our fauna team now gives Ecoscape one of the best environmental fauna teams in the state, able to offer a complete range of fauna related environmental consulting services, ranging from large scale baseline surveys, through to long term monitoring. This newly expanded capability means we can now serve our clients better than ever and with more environmental consulting services than ever before.
We would like to welcome these new Ecoscapers to the fold:
