Our mission

Making biodiversity
work for everyone

To create a fair, equitable and transparent market in natural environment asset trading across Greater Lincolnshire to ensure a vibrant and prosperous green investment economy that delivers for people and wildlife.

Our mission is simple yet vital, and we will enable landowners to develop projects that generate biodiversity and water units, while helping developers and other buyers meet their voluntary, corporate responsibility and mandatory requirements.

We will also work with our marine partners, to develop novel and innovative solutions at sea. We understand that biodiversity is not just a regulatory obligation - it is essential for the long-term health of our planet, local ecosystems, and communities.

We recognise that landowners know their land best, and we are committed to working closely with landowners, valuing their knowledge and ensuring that the viability of their businesses is also a priority. Together, we can create solutions that benefit both people and wildlife.
