Terra Natura

What Terra Natura does

Terra Natura (full legal name: Terra Natura Joanna Szydłowska) is a Polish sole proprietorship founded in 2011 by Dr. Joanna Szydłowska, a Doctor of Agricultural Sciences with specialization in terrestrial environment biology. The firm operates from the Szczecin area and delivers environmental and construction documentation services to private individuals, government institutions, and commercial investors across western Poland (zachodniopomorskie, lubuskie, and wielkopolskie voivodeships), with stated willingness to work in other Polish regions upon request. Its headcount is approximately 6, consisting of the owner and a network of collaborating licensed architects and specialists.

The core service offering is end-to-end investment-process support, organized around five product lines: environmental documentation (impact assessments, NATURA 2000 evaluations, environmental conditions decisions), multi-branch building projects (residential, public, industrial, engineering), dendrological and nature inventories (vegetation surveys, ecological analyses, tree removal permit representation), landscape architecture (conceptual and technical designs with 3D visualizations), and investment-process coordination (permit applications and authority liaison). Proprietary technical differentiation is limited to domain specialization: the firm combines regulatory ecological expertise (PhD-level) with statutory architectural licensing via collaborating partners, enabling delivery of both environmental and construction documentation under one roof.

The business model is project-based professional services with custom, individually negotiated pricing; the firm issues VAT invoices and explicitly states that quote requests are non-binding. Commercial activity is sales-led and driven primarily by referrals and repeat orders from existing clients — including municipalities such as Gmina Kołbaskowo, Urząd Miejski w Dębno, and Miasto Kostrzyn nad Odrą, alongside enterprise accounts including Grupa Azoty, Vortex Energy, Lidl, and ENEA Operator — supported by a basic website (terranatura.pl) and Facebook presence. Marketing channels are deprioritized in favor of established client relationships and subcontracting partnerships with design offices such as PROJBUD, Stradia Design, JR Architekt, and BBF.

Core offering

Terra Natura provides environmental and construction documentation services for investment projects, including environmental impact assessments, Natura 2000 analyses, dendrological and ecological inventories, multi-branch building projects, and landscape architecture design with 3D visualization. The firm supports clients end-to-end across the investment process — from initial environmental documentation and building permits through to final landscape design around completed structures. Services are delivered on a project basis to private individuals, government institutions, and commercial investors across western Poland.

Product overview

Terra Natura operates as a professional services firm offering a unified suite of environmental and landscape architecture services rather than a software product platform. The core offerings include environmental documentation services (environmental impact assessments, Natura 2000 assessments, KIP cards), multi-branch building projects, dendrological inventories, nature inventories, and landscape architecture design. These services work together to support clients throughout the entire investment process — from pre-design environmental documentation through building permits to final landscape design around constructed facilities. The company primarily serves private individuals, government institutions, and commercial investors across western Poland.

Direct peers

• EKOLOGPOL Henryk Dominiak: Polish environmental studies consultancy that is actually Terra Natura's long-term collaboration partner. Provides the same environmental impact reports, Natura 2000 assessments, and EIA support, making it the closest functional and geographic peer.
• Proekologia: Polish environmental consulting firm offering EIAs, environmental permits, and nature inventories. Comparable niche, comparable scale, and similar mix of municipal and industrial clients in Poland.
• PROJBUD Sp. K Sp. z o.o. Polish design and construction firm collaborating with Terra Natura since 2012 on municipal recreational areas, promenades, and revetment restoration. Comparable as a small regional design-and-build firm in western Poland.
• Prowel Ryszard Jerzy Włodarczyk: Polish engineering and supervision firm in the same Szczecin ecosystem that orders vegetation inventories from Terra Natura for transformer-station and grid projects. Comparable regional scale and similar project documentation focus.
• JR Architekt (Biuro architektoniczne JR Architekt): Szczecin-based architecture firm ordering vegetation inventories from Terra Natura since 2016. Comparable small-scale, regional Szczecin practice that pairs architectural design with environmental/landscape documentation for residential developments.
• AS Architektura Agnieszka Szczygielska: Polish architecture office collaborating with Terra Natura on cemetery and quay projects. Comparable small regional practice combining architecture with environmental permitting documentation in northwestern Poland.
• Biuro Projektowe Stradia Design: Polish design office that orders dendrological inventories from Terra Natura for road infrastructure projects. Comparable in regional scope (western Poland) and in the joint delivery of environmental and design documentation for public infrastructure.
• PPA Przyrodnicze Pracownie Autorskie: Polish natural-environmental studies office collaborating with Terra Natura on coastal and ecological surveys (Świnoujście, Kołobrzeg, Police Port). Comparable in size, scope, and regional focus on nature inventories for investment projects.

Broad incumbents

• Sweco Poland: Leading European engineering and environmental consultancy with operations across Poland. Provides environmental assessments, landscape, and infrastructure design, overlapping with Terra Natura's end-to-end investment process support but at much larger scale.
• Arcadis Poland: Global design, engineering, and environmental consulting firm with a significant Polish office offering landscape architecture and environmental impact assessment services. Comparable end-market overlap but far larger scale and broader portfolio.
