Arcadian Ecology and Consulting is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust.  We offer professional ecological, farm advice and contracting services to help you to deliver your conservation requirements, aims and objectives.

Arcadian is named after the ecological school of thought that advocates a harmonious relationship between humans and nature, and was subscribed to by Gilbert White, the Hampshire-born naturalist of world renown.

Arcadian shares the Trust’s mission to create living landscapes and secure living seas, by championing wildlife, demonstrating how nature works, and inspiring people.
