RDE628 Analysis of agri-environment pond eDNA samples for pond metric developme-Natural England's AES Evidence Programme has commissioned a survey of over 100 ponds, including 40 buffered and 40 unbuffered ponds covering both arable and improved grassland systems. All ponds are not actively managed to assess whether management of the surrounding land parcel is sufficient to ensure good quality ponds. The ponds will be surveyed using the modified PondNet environmental survey and wetland plant survey, and water quality analysis will also be undertaken. This will enable P...

Living England Field Data Collection BGZ 08 & 09-This specification covers habitat surveys to be undertaken in 2023/24 across BGZ 8&9 in England. This contract aims to collect data points aligned with the Living England segmentation, through the use of Living England's Field Maps app. The target habitat types cover the majority of habitats classified within Living England

RDE708 Strategic Flood Risk Solutions for Lowland Peat Restoration-The principal aim of this project is to provide a step-by-step guide to the flood risk assessment requirements for landowners considering ecohydrological restoration of lowland peat sites, in the context of lowland peat sites with protected status in south Cumbria. Many lowland peat sites have undergone extensive physical and hydrological modification, including: Peat cutting with associated drainage to reduce water content of the peat. Drainage to reduce the water table and allow the l...

RDE 540 - Ecological Survey for the Groundwater Dependent Terrestrial Ecosystem-Thus contract was awarded by EA.

Change Detection Field Surveys for BGZ 10 & 12-This specification covers habitat surveys to be undertaken in 2023 across all habitat classes in biogeographic zone (BGZ) 10 covering the South East and London and BGZ12 covering Hampshire and Dorset to assess habitat change. This contract aims to collect 560 data points in each zone across BGZ10 and BGZ12 aligned with the Living England segmentation in regions of change in the last 2-3 years. The target habitats cover all habitats classified within Living England. • Total numb...

RDE688 Coastal Riverscapes: the role of habitat migration corridors-The development of a geospatial layer informed by analysis and modelling of environmental parameters to identify potential coastal and freshwater wetland habitat migration corridors. The aim is to identify adaptation opportunities which support natural processes to accommodate both lateral and upstream expansion of the current tidal zone and inland migration of freshwater wetlands in response to climate driven sea level rise.

RDE 521 - Hen Harrier brood management - social science survey-This project was awarded by NE.

RDE 482 - Brown Moss Water Quality Assessment-This contract was awarded by Natural England.
