ArborEcological offers expert Fauna Spotter Catcher services designed to ensure regulatory compliance and wildlife protection during land development. Our comprehensive approach includes pre-clearing habitat mapping, rigorous diurnal surveys to identify arboreal and ground-dwelling species, and active on-site clearing supervision.
By implementing specialised protocols—such as two-stage clearing, habitat tree relocation, and meticulous GPS documentation—we seamlessly integrate wildlife management into your project’s workflow, ensuring the safe relocation of fauna while maintaining operational efficiency.
Key Service Highlights
Pre-Clearing Surveys: Identifying threatened flora, weed mapping, and habitat trees.
Active Supervision: Real-time fauna monitoring and "flushing" surveys during vegetation removal.
Staged Management: Coordination of 48-hour staggered clearing to allow natural fauna movement.
Reporting: Full documentation of relocation results, including photos and spatial data.

A Pre-Clearing Assessment undertaken by a qualified Ecologist is your essential first step to guarantee full regulatory compliance and protect ecological values before commencing any development or clearing work.
We provide the expert oversight needed to prevent legal breaches, avoid costly delays, and meet all consent conditions.
Our pre-clearing assessment services include:
Identify and map all critical habitat features (e.g., hollow-bearing trees, waterways, TECs) within the site.
On-site ecologist actively searches for and safely identifies the presence of native wildlife. We ensure that any works adhere to wildlife protection laws and prevent harm to threatened or Endangered species before any clearing works.
