Welcoming Esther Paton as our new Assistant Ecologist
April 9, 2025Becca and Nicole are now certified to undertake the BNG Rivers Condition Assessment in addition to the normal BNG assessments Wild Service undertakes.
A Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Rivers Condition Assessment evaluates the ecological state of rivers and streams to ensure development projects meet mandatory BNG requirements. Introduced under the Environment Act 2021, BNG mandates a minimum 10% increase in biodiversity for developments affecting rivers, maintained for at least 30 years. This assessment is critical for planning applications involving watercourses, even if the development doesn’t directly impact the river. Contact us for more information.
