Shepherd Ecological offers independent advice, direct client relationships, high quality outputs, timely delivery, and the innovative use of technology

Operating throughout Victoria, Australia

Sole proprietorship

Mark Shepherd as the director and principal ecologist is the primary point of contact on all projects. This structure ensures quality, consistency, timely delivery, and direct lines of communication.

Multidisciplinary collaborations

When specialist expertise or increased capacity is required, Shepherd Ecological collaborates with a trusted network of independent zoologists, botanists, aquatic ecologists, offset specialists, planners, arborists, and horticulturalists, offering the full suite of ecological consulting services and related fields for multidisciplinary projects.

Time sensitive projects

Timing is critical for many projects.  Shepherd Ecological offers a timely service that is based on careful time management and realistic commitments.  

Prospective clients will always receive accurate estimates of our capacity and timelines at the quoting stage of the project. 

Shepherd Ecological offers the full suite of services typically provided by larger ecological consultancies, with the benefit of a direct client relationship that a sole proprietorship provides.
