Wellshead Natural Capital For Farmers

Our Speciality

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)

Rural landscapes need new income streams as traditional farm payments dwindle. BNG offers a promising solution to future-proof your land, driven by new laws requiring developers to offset biodiversity loss.

We've navigated the entire BNG process at Wellshead, giving us unique insight to unlock your land's potential. Let us help you create a sustainable revenue stream that enhances, rather than replaces, your existing operations.

Long Term Income

BNG agreements typically span 30 years, offering a reliable additional income stream for your farm. This long-term approach provides stability and allows for confident future planning, complementing your existing agricultural income.

We tailor BNG projects to fit seamlessly with your current farming practices. Whether you're focused on livestock, arable farming, or mixed use, our solutions are designed to enhance your land without disrupting your core agricultural activities.

Local Nature Recovery

By participating in BNG, your land plays a vital role in local conservation. Create valuable habitats for native species and contribute to a network of biodiversity across the countryside, all while maintaining productive farmland.

" I was sceptical about BNG at first, but working with WNC changed my mind. Liz walked our land, taking the time to understand our business and answer our questions. What impressed me most was how the BNG scheme fit into our existing operations, rather than dictating changes.It's not just about conservation – it's opened a new revenue stream without taking land out of production. The whole process was easier than I expected. WNC's approach is straightforward, and they've clearly invested in making this work for farmers. It's been a positive move for our farm's future, balancing our agricultural heritage with new opportunities."
