About

Quantify Ecology was founded by Peter Robson to provide specialist habitat restoration and monitoring services. The aim is to provide support to others embarking on restoration projects using experience gained over the last 16 years working in the restoration, creation, management and monitoring of habitats.

Peter has co-authored several guidance and technical documents, including for the IUCN, and was selected to be a member of Natural England’s Peatland Restoration Roadmap Technical Advisory Group (TAG) since 2023. He has also been a regular presenter at conferences and provided webinars for the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM).
