About Us
Urban Ecology Group was founded on a simple belief: when communities and nature work together, everyone thrives. Our work brings scientific insight and community collaboration into the same conversation, creating practical, eco‑friendly solutions for the challenges facing today’s urban environments.
One of the most urgent issues we tackle is the growing impact of European Chafer Beetle larvae, which has been damaging lawns and disrupting the look and feel of our shared outdoor spaces. We help homeowners restore their yards through environmentally responsible methods, but our work doesn’t stop there. Every project contributes to a broader understanding of this systemic problem through the data we collect, helping build a community‑wide response that is both effective and sustainable.
At Urban Ecology Group, you’re not just hiring a service, you’re joining a movement. Together, we’re building healthier ecosystems, stronger communities, and a more resilient urban future.
