Create a Biodiversity Net Gain Site

You’ve got land – but it’s not earning what it should

Whether it’s wet, scrubby, or just not viable for farming or development, you’re not alone in wondering:

“Isn’t there a better way to make use of this?”

Through Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), we help landowners across Cornwall turn underused fields and woodland into a reliable, long-term income stream — while restoring nature at the same time.

CEC is the consultancy arm of Cornwall Wildlife Trust — so we’re grounded in both conservation and practical delivery.

We understand the challenges of managing land in Cornwall. We work day in, day out with:

• Developers, helping them meet BNG rules
• Farmers and landowners, helping them build biodiversity projects that are practical and profitable
• Planners, helping secure approval for nature-based solutions

We explain everything clearly, guide you through the BNG maze, and ensure you stay in control. You won’t lose good land — and you’ll gain a stronger future.

By going through this process, you’ll:

• Understand what your land is capable of
• Generate a secure, long-term income stream
• Create something positive for future generations
• Avoid being left with low-value land and no long-term plan

You’ll be supporting Cornwall’s natural environment — and shaping your land’s future on your terms.
