Ecological Expertise Backed by Groundwork
At BNGProfessional, we combine strong scientific knowledge with hands-on, practical experience. From detailed surveys to habitat creation, we ensure our biodiversity solutions are both ecologically sound and achievable on the ground—bridging the gap between strategy and delivery.
Our founder, Richard Godbehere BSc MSc, is a Conservation Biologist with specialist expertise in biodiversity recovery. He is an FSC-accredited Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Assessor and a qualified UKHab Surveyor, bringing professional insight and scientific rigour to every project.
Our passion for nature recovery in the UK drives our mission to deliver measurable, lasting improvements to the natural environment—while supporting the development of homes and places that help people connect with nature in their everyday lives.
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is an approach to development that aims to leave the natural environment in a measurably better state than before. It requires that any loss of biodiversity from a project is offset by measures that enhance or restore nature, such as creating new habitats or improving existing ones.
We support developers and homebuilders with a full range of biodiversity services, to ensure long-term compliance and ecological success. Our services are designed to streamline the planning process while delivering measurable gains for nature.
At BNGProfessional, our services help landowners unlock the value of their onsite natural capital by guiding them through Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) . We assist in designing and creating habitat banks that generate revenue, turning ecological assets into sustainable financial opportunities.
We assist planners, by ensuring BNG aligns meaningfully with Local Nature Recovery Strategies. We advise on habitat creation and banking, while maximising environmental and community benefits.
