- Assess
  The first stage of any Biodiversity Net Gain project is to fully understand and document a site’s ecological baseline. Through a combination of desk study and field surveys, our Ecologists assess and record the type and condition of all habitats on site, and then use DEFRA’s Statutory Biodiversity Metric to determine the baseline Biodiversity Units, and devise a suitable BNG Strategy.

  Design
  Once a site-level strategy for BNG has been determined, our Nature Recovery Consultants and Landscape Architects will work to turn the concept into a realistic design. This will be illustrated on a Site Masterplan supported by a 30-Yr Habitat Management & Monitoring Plan (HMMP) which details all of the capital, maintenance & monitoring actions required to achieve the intended BNG targets, and further supported by a detailed budget calculator modelling all costs throughout the lifespan of the project.

  Create
  The physical delivery of BNG habitat enhancement and creation works requires specialist Contractors with a great deal of ecological knowledge and understanding. Not only do we support highly-skilled teams with an array of specialised machinery and equipment, but our people care about the environment and take an immense pride in their work, ensuring that all BNG projects are delivered to incredibly high standards.READ MORE
  
  Maintain
  The true success of BNG schemes will be seen in the effectiveness of maintenance and monitoring over the period of +30-years. Our Grounds & Estates Division supports teams of roaming Countryside Rangers who specialise in this type of skilled ecological maintenance, and can offer far wider benefits including general site management and community liaison. Through establishing clusters of BNG sites with dedicated delivery teams, we can offer a flexible, cost-effective solution to ensure that BNG targets are always achieved.READ MORE
  
  Monitor
  We provide comprehensive long-term Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) monitoring services to ensure that the intended ecological outcomes are achieved and maintained throughout a project’s lifespan. Over the 30-year monitoring period, our ecologists carry out regular habitat condition surveys, reporting, and data reviews to track progress against Biodiversity Gain Plans and statutory requirements. Working in close collaboration with land managers and local authorities, we ensure habitats are not only established but continue to thrive — supporting both compliance and genuine, measurable biodiversity recovery.READ MORE
