Real Wild Estates Approach

In partnership with you, we deliver our service across core phases.

Phase One – Part One

Visioning report

Our desktop-based visioning reports are bespoke to any proposed landscape or large portfolio, and explore all the latest natural capital, and ecological restoration options available on your landholdings.

Phase One – Part Two

Scoping natural capital income

Our natural capital scoping reports investigate all available ecosystem service payments and natural capital income streams available across your portfolio. We model different scenarios bespoke to your requirements, building in implementation costs to provide 5 to 30-year indicative forecasts.

Phase Two

Long term nature recovery strategy

We follow this up with on-site ground truthing, collaborating with your teams to create a nature-friendly approach to realising the long-term nature restoration potential of the land, and which natural capital income streams sustain this best.

Phase Three

Implementation

With you, we then agree the desired level of ecologically focused oversight or on-site management that you and your own team require to carry out the proposed ecological strategy. It’s essential to ensure the early years are carefully managed as this is critical to the long-term success of any nature-based recovery. We can offer a range of payment and performance options to suit your exact needs and those of the project.

Ongoing Phase Four

Measuring, Monitoring, and Innovating

Throughout the project we will measure, monitor and report all key impacts, KPI’s and biodiversity benefits relating to the land under the ecological plan. These include early baselining landscapes, through to biodiversity uplifts, soil fertility and water retention, alongside measuring the carbon sequestered. We can also include stakeholder and community engagement and jobs created if needed. Lastly, we measure against the financial performance indicators to ensure long term viability from any actions being taken, allowing us to innovate and adapt to optimise financial results and biodiversity restoration.

Tailor-made services

Our main service is principally offered as the full-service ecological management or oversight packages, working alongside your own on-site teams. However, you can also select individual services, tailored to meet your specific company or corporate requirements. Speak to us about any of the below services and request a quote.
