Austin Foot Ecology LLP was established by experienced professional ecologists 
Ed Austin and Steve Foot in early 2014.

Our aim is to provide clear and practical ecological advice to our clients and a high quality service in all that we do.

We have both been employed as leading ecologists within some of the UK's major independent consultancies. This has given  us exposure to a variety of high-profile projects and experience of a multitude of ecological situations and issues. By establishing Austin Foot Ecology we have created a platform that enables us to apply this knowledge and experience to every project we take on.

Our approach and advice is underpinned by an in-depth understanding of UK wildlife legislation, planning policy and best practice guidance. This is coupled with a pragmatic and creative approach and the provision of clear and unambiguous advice.
