FREE Making Space for Nature: Environmental Mitigation and Biodiversity Net Gain

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) has the potential to hugely boost nature recovery.

But what is BNG and how does it affect you?

🌱BNG is an environmental policy that requires developers to replace damaged nature and create at least 10% more when they build new homes.
🏠BNG was developed to help stop the decline in nature.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦People will also benefit from the creation of new green spaces and enjoy the benefits of being close to nature.

🍃To help you understand how you can make space for nature and opportunities that can be presented Environmental Mitigation and Biodiversity Net Gain, we are hosting a FREE event on 18th November at 7.30pm.
