Consulting Arborist and Ecologist
AQF Level 5 to 9 Consulting Arborists and Ecologists Under One Roof
Some sites need both tree and ecology reporting: bushland blocks, riparian land, rural lots and sites with habitat trees or mapped biodiversity. Arbor Express brings Consulting Arborists and Ecologists together in one team, so both assessments are coordinated from the first site visit.

Why Use One Team for Trees and Ecology?
When the arborist and the ecologist are separate consultants, their reports can be prepared at different times, from different site visits and with different conclusions about the same trees. That can lead to requests for further information and delays.
Our Consulting Arborists and Ecologists work together, so tree retention, habitat value and biodiversity impacts are assessed consistently and the reports support each other. You deal with one point of contact for both.
This integrated approach saves time and reduces cost, with advice tailored to your project's requirements.

When Do You Need Both?
A combined arborist and ecologist engagement is commonly useful where a site contains native vegetation, hollow-bearing or habitat trees, a watercourse or riparian corridor, mapped biodiversity, or bushland adjoining the development area. It is also common where council has asked for both tree and ecological information as part of one Development Application.
