An ecological consultancy based in Dorset, UK
Our work is focused on the interface between people and nature. Our dynamic team is passionate about ecology, conservation and natural history. We work with those who share our values, in the most ethical and sustainable way that we can.
We are professional, experienced ecologists
We take pride in being a flexible, responsive and friendly team, whilst maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. We also work closely with a range of associates and subcontractors who offer complementary skills.

Footprint Ecology is now an Employee Owned Company!
To ensure orderly succession, and that Footprint remains true to the intentions and ethics of the founders, the shareholders have sold their stake in the business to an Employee Ownership Trust. This change took effect on 30th June 2023, and it means the business is now indirectly owned by the employees, for their benefit.
What this means in everyday terms is that, actually, very little will change. Footprint will be doing the same work, with the same staff, from the same premises. But in the long run the change will bring certainty and security to the business, whilst improving staff engagement and morale.
