Where appropriate, QFM can work with property owners and managers to assess requirements, develop an agreed approach and deploy volunteer teams to undertake approved activities.

Depending on the project, this may also include activities such as monitoring, trapping, data collection, animal and plant surveys and practical property assistance.
