Flora and vegetation surveys are essential to understanding, protecting, and managing Western Australia’s unique and ecologically significant plant life.
Western Australia has a unique and diverse range of plant species as one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots.
Ecoscape is a leader in conducting flora and vegetation surveys throughout metropolitan Perth and across regional WA. An important part of environmental approval for development projects is to demonstrate that vegetation communities or individual plant species will not be threatened due to development.
We design and conduct vegetation and flora surveys that meet the requirements for environmental assessments. Our experience and professionalism provides clients with accurate information that can be easily interpreted and provides a sound scientific basis for environmental decision making.
