Welcome to MES
Image MES is a small, professional consultancy specialising in the ecology of mountain environments. This includes:
  • Vegetation surveys for individual species and for communities or habitats (Phase 1 and NVC);
  • Surveys of species of wildlife specific to mountain environments, such as dotterel, ptarmigan and snow bunting;
  • Visitor behaviour and activity;
  • Visitor impacts on paths, habitats and wildlife;
  • Facilitating appropriate access for activities in mountain areas, such as filming, and demonstrating best practice in impact minimisation.

MES is a sole tradership, run by Dr Cathy Mordaunt, an ecologist with many years of experience of mountain environments throughout the world, as an ecologist and as an active recreationalist. Based in Aviemore, at the heart of the Cairngorms, MES has extensive and intimate knowledge of all parts of the Scottish Highlands but is also able to offer services over a much wider geographic area.
