About us

ERSE is an innovative startup answering the growing call for environmentally-sustainable management of any infrastructural intervention with a possible environmental impact, as demanded either by international regulations and a wiser civil conscience. We apply our multidisciplinary skills in:

  • Land-use planning (Environmental Impact Assessments, Environmental Monitoring Plans),
  • management of protected areas and ecological networks (Action and Management Plans for flora, fauna, habitat, ecosystems),
  • (European) projects for ecological restoration and nature conservation.

ERSE is also committed in spreading the scientific culture through guided field trips, together with our biologists and ecologists. Namely, we have developed a series of CITIZEN SCIENCE initiatives, where actual on-field scientific labs are set up, and real scientific assays are experienced by everyone.

Enthusiasm, harmony, full commitment and a constant drive to improve our work represent the actual added value of our team.

Flexibility and responsiveness
