It is that time of year again when ecologists emerge from hibernation and look to plan surveys for the coming season. The first milestone are Great Crested Newts with the survey season spread between mid-March and mid-June.
Great crested newts (GCN) are striking amphibians which are protected under UK law, meaning that any project affecting their habitat must carefully plan for their conservation. But complying with these regulations doesn’t have to mean costly delays or disruptions. With proper planning and the right approach, you can move your project forward smoothly while supporting biodiversity.
