Protected-species pre-works screener

Check wildlife red flags before work starts.

For roofs, lofts, trees, barns, demolition, and outbuildings. Spot bat, bird, and protected-species red flags, record your checks, and know when to pause for expert advice.

For homeowners, roofers, builders, architects, landlords, and tree workers. This is a pre-works screener — if red flags come up, you'll need a qualified ecologist.

Pexels direction: roofline at dusk, woodland edge, old barn light, or trees moving softly.

The best time to spot ecology risk is before work starts.

Protected-species issues are harder and more expensive once a job is live. WildWorks gives homeowners and trades a structured early check and clean project note.
