Environs
[in-ví´rénz] plural noun
surrounding areas: the land or area surrounding a place.[Mid-17th
century. From French, plural of environ 'surroundings, around',
literally 'in a viron (see circle', from environ).]
The modern environment, certainly in the United Kingdom, is largely
a man-made one, with the natural world often confined to peripheral
areas. In addition, although areas that are peripheral to newly
constructed developments are often landscaped they are not necessarily
'wildlifed' and as such the potential to create new wildlife habitats
is not always fully recognised or exploited.
However, there is often an opportunity to integrate the natural
environment with the built one on a variety of projects, no matter
what the type and scale involved is. BCM Environs aims to provide
a service to facilitate this. The ethos of BCM Environs is, "Better
places to co-exist with wildlife, by design". (Alternatively,
in the modern idiom the buzz phrase for BCM Environs could be, "Habitat
to grow", but this is should not be seen as a trivial venture!).
Now BCM Environs is keen to explore other such opportunities and
assist clients in developing natural environments and encouraging
wildlife elsewhere. By bringing together a range of disciplines
and expertise, BCM Environs aims to improve the environment for
people and for wildlife.
