The Wildlife Trusts are in the early stages of exploring how we might offer biodiversity credits to our national partners. If your organisation is interested in investing in high-quality biodiversity projects on a national scale, in return for voluntary, high-integrity credits, please fill out our expression of interest form below.

Every organisation, regardless of size, sector or location depends in some way on the natural environment. Those with responsibility for land management have a direct impact on biodiversity. The Biodiversity Benchmark provides a framework within which an organisation can ensure that its impact is as positive as possible.

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a legal requirement in England, requiring infrastructure developers to take a different approach to their building projects and plan in how their work can deliver - rather than take away - from nature. As a Biodiversity Net Gain service provider, The Wildlife Trusts offer consultancy services and high quality habitat delivery that offers genuinely additional and permanent gains in biodiversity.

Does your organisation own or manage land? The Wildlife Trusts' Biodiversity Benchmark recognises outstanding land management and showcases land-owning business's commitment to nature.

Get expert Biodiversity Net Gain advice, BNG assessments, and ecological surveys for your development from The Wildlife Trusts. Our local consultancies provide guidance from planning to post-development, ensuring desirable and nature-friendly projects. Partner with us for the best biodiversity gains.

Wildlife Trusts across England offer BNG Units for sale from dedicated habitat banks. Developers buy Biodiversity Net Gain units to meet their planning obligations. Use our map to see where our purchasable BNG Units are located across England.

The Wildlife Trusts’ Biodiversity Benchmark is the only standard that certifies the management of your business site for wildlife. Landowning businesses can be a positive force for nature’s recovery and we want to recognise and celebrate those businesses which have achieved excellence.

Thank you for your interest in supporting The Wildlife Trusts.  Whilst we endeavour to respond to all new enquiries promptly, we are receiving an extraordinarily high number of requests at the moment and appreciate your patience.
