Overview
Description
Environment Bank is England's leading provider of off-site Biodiversity Units. Covering more than sixty acres of previously arable land in Cambridgeshire, our Bassingbourn Habitat Bank is a fantastic example of how nature restoration projects can transform areas with low biodiversity. After creating new habitats and enhancing the site’s existing features, we’ll spend the next three decades enabling the landscape to flourish – helping a wide range of local animal and plant species to thrive. This Habitat Bank is being added to the biodiversity gain sites register and our Biodiversity Units are being reserved and purchased. Prices are inclusive of all fees and include legal and planning support. For our latest prices and availability, contact us directly via the Contact Seller button.
