Overview
Description
Wild Horden offers BNG units off the shelf at best value for a great and lasting environmental outcome. A Habitat Bank with spectacular views over the North Sea with an array of value and niche habitats. The habitat mosaic will contribute to local nature recovery by expanding existing priority habitat woodland abutting a stream connecting the site to the coast. The site is being transformed from arable fields into a scrub grassland mosaic with other niche habitats such as Open Mosaic Habitat. Why buy from Wild Capital? 1. According to multiple sources, we are often the best value units on the market locally and nationally while also offering the highest integrity outcome 2. Our sites are legally secured FOR NATURE FOREVER. Unlike most of our competitors who lease land, our land our land will not be returned to agriculture in 30 years 3. We use independent advisers to quantify our schemes and monitor them (i.e. we do not tell ourselves how many units we will generate and we don't mark our own homework) 4. We own the freehold and so have complete autonomy with the habitats we can create such as Open Mosaic Habitat 5. We invest a financial endowment with an independent financial adviser to ensure the capital is in place to finance the project for the term Don’t see the habitat types you need? Don’t worry. We can’t predict the exact units developers need in advance, so a section of all of our habitat banks is left as a flexible area, which can be used to create a variety of habitats to meet a developer’s exact requirements.
