At Black Sheep, we have over 20 years of habitat and species conservation management experience.  This affords us the luxury of being able to assess the success of different techniques over a relatively long period, allowing us to develop an impressive toolkit.

​

As many of our clients farm the downland landscapes of Wiltshire, Dorset, Berkshire, Hampshire, and the Isle of Wight, we have a particular love of chalk grassland and have been involved in the creation and restoration of hundreds of acres of this species-rich habitat. In addition, we have experience in the management of meadows, lowland heath, parkland, woodland, hedgerows, ponds, field margins, and arable habitats.

​

In terms of species, we are particularly known for our work with farmland birds, though we have undertaken surveys and habitat enhancement work for a whole range of species from bats, butterflies and brown hares, to grasshoppers and great crested newts.
