Natural capital is currently at the front of the minds of land managers. We believe there will be a number of ways for income and value to be generated into estate budgets by taking steps to improve the environment. 

Our natural capital services

Working with organisations creating and managing natural capital assets, as well as those that require units and other ecosystem services, we offer strategic, practical and unbiased advice that is based on technical knowledge and business acumen.

Strategic, technical & tactical natural capital advice

We work with businesses of all types and sizes – from developers and housebuilders, to investors, corporates and non-for-profit organisations – helping them identify opportunities in natural capital, as well navigating constraints in the evolving natural capital marketplace.

Alongside the strategic advice, we also advise on the price and quality of environmental units/credits, helping organisations achieve their objectives, including ESG and sustainability.

Biodiversity net gain

On behalf of landowners and other owners of habitat banks, we work throughout the process – advising on the set up and management of the banks, as well as the marketing and sale of the units generated.

For developers, we can identify and source appropriate biodiversity units to meet BNG requirements.

Phosphate and nutrient neutrality

Where businesses and landowners are able to reduce nutrients, including phosphates, we can market and sell credits to developers looking to offset their projects’ impact on water bodies.

On the other side, we also work with developers in sourcing suitable credits to facilitate development.

Biodiversity units for sale

We are currently working with a range of habitat banks, selling BNG units. Here is a selection of those available. If you would like to discuss your requirements, please get in touch with a member of the team.
