The water vole is legally protected in the UK. If a site is likely to be inhabited by water voles, surveys must be carried out.
At SAP Ecology and Environmental we are able to carry out presence/likely absence surveys on sites from April to October, when water voles are most active. These surveys involve observing water vole burrows, feeding stations, runs, footprints and droppings.
