Description
The Wildfell Centre for Environmental Recovery project is owned and managed through our innovative Evergreen environmental impact fund. The fund is delivering perpetual land use change demonstrating that nature recovery can deliver sustainable revenues for landowners. All profits are reinvested in the fund to deliver future projects. Our Habitat Bank now has a Conservation Covenant in Place and all units are available for purchase and allocation to projects. The habitat bank is part of the 120 ha landscape recovery project delivering multiple environmental befits and habitats including 50ha of Woodland Creation. The project creates high quality units within a scheme that delivers for Essex's Local Nature Recovery Strategy. The scheme is designed to enhance the local landscape and maximise the Environmental and Community benefits of the site. The design, implementation, management and monitoring benefits from our 50 year experience of creating and managing habitats across the UK. This gives buyers the confidence that the Habitat Management & Monitoring plan will be delivered effectively. Habitat creation works have been ongoing since Autumn 2022 with all initial works completed in spring 2024. Establishment operations are ongoing as set out in the Habitat Management and Monitoring Plan.
