The Landmark Practice is privileged to continue to work with the National Trust at a number of its properties, advising on protection of wildlife, notably bats, during essential repair and renovation works.
Recent projects have included Dunster Castle, Stembridge Tower Mill and Tintinhull House.
In conjunction with PPS Group (stakeholder communications experts) and Burges Salmon LLP (solicitors) Bernice Roberts (the Landmark Practice’s Principal Environmental Planner) has been presenting expert advice at breakfast seminars to a wide ranging audience across the country.
Over the last six months our Environmental Planning Team has been most fortunate in having Dan Fox’s assistance. Dan completed his MSc in Environmental Management last year and was keen to gain experience of environmental planning before heading to London to seek employment in education for sustainable development.
His unstinting hard work and first class research abilities have been invaluable to all within the office. Dan has now moved on and we all miss his wry humour. Perhaps he may return one day!
For the past few years The Landmark Practice has been participating in the Bristol Bird Watch run by the Avon Wildlife Trust.We record all the different species of birds that we see in the Landmark garden between the months of October and March and then submit the results to the Wildlife Trust who collate and analyse the results from gardens all over the Bristol area.
So far this winter we have recorded 19 different bird species including blackcap, goldcrest, goldfinch, long-tailed tit, redwing, song thrush and chiffchaff.
