Ecological Clerk of Works along M23

SWT Ecology Services has been providing valuable Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW) services to Kier Infrastructure, supervising vegetation removal along the M23 to facilitate the transition to a smart motorway.  Over the course of a year we have identified over 100 badger sett entrances and are working closely with Kier to minimise impacts to these from the works.  This involves extensive monitoring using remote sensor camera traps, regular field visits and site inspections with a licensed badger ecologist.
