Our clients

Ecofirst carries out different missions for a wide range of clients (public, companies, individuals) in all Europe, mainly in Belgium, France and Luxembourg. Our clients have a common goal : they want to implement an integrated management of natural areas (forests, open environments, protected areas, etc.).

We carry out a privileged relationship with various linear infrastructure managers in Belgium and France: high-voltage network for electricity, rail network, road network... Vegetation management is often an issue for these companies and Ecofirst's mission is to turn it into opportunities by transforming these "corridors" or "green areas" into a biodiversity-friendly environment. This in-depth expertise in linear infrastructures has earned the Ecofirst team European and Belgian awards within the LIFE Elia-RTE project.
