We are widely recognised as being the leading UK environmental consultancy on terrestrial wind energy and birds. Our team’s expertise is unrivalled. The edge we enjoy over others in our field is based on a strong foundation in non-commercial and academic research having altogether published over 200 peer reviewed papers (Click here to view the list of publications by our staff). These skills and our integrity in critical evaluation are the bases for our high standard of reporting. We deliver high quality, objective research, assessments and monitoring for commercial projects of all sizes, such as windfarms, hydro-electric schemes, electrical grid connectors, forestry developments, and quarry and road construction. Protocols for Environmental Impact Assessments developed by us and our co-operators have been used to inform the industry’s Best Practice Guidelines and as a result, our products are seen as authoritative.
In addition to our in-house staff training, we have provided expert external training to government employees, university students, NGO staff and commercial consultants from countries as diverse as North America, Oman, Scotland, Cambodia, Spain, Northern Ireland and Norway.

Our training courses are adaptable and flexible; they can either be run at our headquarters in Scotland or our trainers can come to you and deliver the course in-house to your staff. The course content can be tailored to your own particular requirements, for example with more emphasis on windfarm EIA, or hydro-electric EIA etc., depending on your needs.
The cost of each training course depends entirely on the course location and desired content. For initial enquiries or to discuss your individual requirements, please contact ruth.tingay@natural-research in the first instance.
