HENRIETTE WESTERGAARD

BSc, MSc, MCIEEM, CMLI, CEnv

I have been in professional practice for 35 years. I established Ecology & Land Management (ELM) in 1995.

I am a qualified Ecologist and a full member of the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management and a Chartered member of the Society for the Environment. I am also Chartered Landscape Architect. I was part of starting the Landscape Institute’s Managers Working Group in 1998, promoting the profession of landscape managers and informing the members of relevant matters such as environmental legislation and guidelines. I was elected to the Management Committee of the Tree Council in 2000 to represent the Landscape Institute where I served for two years and remain an active member to date.

What we do

The consultancy provides expert advice on all aspects of land use and management and we have experience of dealing with the various stages of planning, design and management of land taking into account both UK and European legislation. We undertake research projects, develop nature conservation solutions for local authorities and developers, identify constraints to developments and provide both short and long-term solutions to a wide range of sites. We also give evidence at major public inquiries identifying impacts and producing mitigation solutions including proposals for alternative pollution treatment, translocation of protected species and habitat compensation measures.
