Our Story
Founded in 2015 by a group of passionate ecologists, lucid-beaver emerged from a shared belief that development and nature conservation need not be opposing forces. What began as a small consultancy in Bristol has grown into a respected practice with chartered ecologists working across England, Scotland, and Wales.
Our founders came together after careers spanning academic research, statutory agencies, and conservation charities. This diverse background shapes our approach: we bring scientific credibility, regulatory insight, and genuine conservation commitment to every project we undertake.
Today, we serve property developers, local authorities, infrastructure companies, and conservation organisations. Whether conducting protected species surveys for a housing scheme or designing landscape-scale habitat connectivity plans, we apply the same rigorous methodology and client-focused service.
