Understanding the importance of Natural Capital

At Wrigleys, we understand the critical importance of sustainable land use, the need to seek diversification opportunities and the preservation of Natural Capital and other land resources for future generations. Our team provides clear, practical guidance to help clients: (1) understand what Natural Capital is, (2) explore how participating in Natural Capital schemes can benefit their specific objectives and (3) advise on the required legal structure. 

Expert guidance on agriculture, estate management, and renewable energy

Our expertise is rooted in many years of experience advising on agriculture, estate management, renewable energy and the social economy. This breadth of knowledge enables us to support landowners, farmers and scheme providers in navigating the legal landscape surrounding Natural Capital assets.

Advice on private sector opportunities in Natural Capital

We offer tailored advice on various private sector opportunities which include (but are not limited to):

  • Delivering biodiversity net gain (including habitat banking schemes)
  • Conservation Covenants and Section 106 Agreements
  • Participating in Environmental Land Management Schemes (such as the Sustainable Farming Incentive, Landscape Recovery and Countryside Stewardship)
  • Purchase and sale of Natural Capital assets including agricultural land, woodland and upland properties
  • Associated Tax planning advice for landowners

In doing so, we help clients diversify their landholdings, produce new revenue streams and contribute meaningfully to the environment.
