Smart Biodiversity Solutions for Landowners
Maximise your land’s potential through nature-led enhancements.
Make the Most of Your Land While Supporting a Greener Future
As the UK advances toward its 2050 climate goals, landowners are in a unique position to contribute to environmental progress while opening up new income streams. At Tariff, we provide the expertise and tools to help you unlock the full potential of your land through sustainable initiatives.
We support landowners in creating and managing Woodland Carbon Units, Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Units, and participating in Carbon Banks, enabling long-term revenue through conservation-focused land use. These schemes not only contribute to national biodiversity and carbon reduction targets but also offer dependable, long-term financial returns.
How We Support Landowners
We understand that as a landowner, you may have questions or concerns about how your land will be used. That’s why our expert team is here to guide you every step of the way.
We offer a fully tailored service, shaped around your land and your goals. From maximising your natural capital to advising on commercial energy projects like battery storage or solar, we’re always on hand to provide the support and insight you need.
Biodiversity Net Gain Units
Under the Environment Act 2021, developers in England must now deliver at least a 10% Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG). While some projects can meet this on-site, design or space constraints often make it unfeasible.
That’s where Tariff.com can help. We offer access to high-quality, compliant off-site BNG units through our network of registered habitat creation projects. With a strong presence in the Bristol region and partnerships across the UK, we work closely with local authorities and landowners to ensure our units represent genuine environmental improvements. By sourcing BNG units through Tariff.com, developers can meet legal obligations, avoid costly delays, and contribute to long-term biodiversity uplift.

Understanding Carbon Credits
Carbon credits are a popular and effective way to offset carbon emissions. Essentially, one carbon credit represents the removal of one tonne of CO2 from the atmosphere, typically achieved through a carbon offset project like tree planting. At Tariff.com, we go a step further by exclusively sourcing our carbon credits from woodland creation projects.
We’ll provide your business with verifiable Woodland Carbon Units (WCUs), specifically designed to offset your remaining emissions. By supporting these vital projects, your business can genuinely account for its residual emissions and proudly achieve net-zero status.
Learn MoreUnlock New Value and Revenue Streams
The growing environmental markets, driven by demand for carbon capture, biodiversity net gain (BNG), and green energy, are opening up exciting new commercial avenues. Businesses are actively seeking solutions to lessen their impact on the natural world, and you can be a part of that.
We can help you diversify your land and tap into these rapidly expanding nature-based revenue streams.
It’s important to note that for these projects, we exclusively focus on land that is marginal, low-yielding, derelict, or currently disused.
Our Four-Step Approach to Unlocking Your Land's Potential
We've developed a comprehensive, four-pillar strategy to help you maximise the value of your land and capitalise on emerging environmental opportunities:
Assess Land Potential
We start with a Preliminary Ecological Assessment (PEA), including a Biodiversity Metric Calculation and consultation with groups like Natural England, to create a Site Feasibility Report.
Design Site Enhancements
Next, we handle site registration and design, secure grant applications for projects like woodland creation, and plan the layout for any desired renewable energy installations.
Implement the Project
We then source the right species mix and prepare the land for enhancements. This can include additional development such as pond restoration, hedge laying, orchard creation, or solar panel installation.
Provide Ongoing Management
Our team ensures long-term success through ongoing monitoring and maintenance to maximize carbon, wildlife, and community benefits, and arranges for independent validation of all units produced.

Frequently Asked Questions
Environmental markets refer to the growing demand for solutions that address climate change and biodiversity loss. This includes markets for carbon credits (which offset emissions) and biodiversity units (which compensate for habitat loss from development). By enhancing your land for these purposes, you can generate verifiable units or credits that can be sold, creating new income streams.
With the UK committing to become full net-zero by 2050, it falls to businesses and enterprises to significantly reduce and offset their emissions. Woodland Credits are an integral part of that, allowing for companies to counteract their remaining emissions and to officially declare themselves as “net-zero” ahead of the 2050 deadline.
Biodiversity Net Gain is a new planning requirement in England where development projects must leave biodiversity in a measurably better state than before. If a developer cannot achieve this on-site, they can purchase “Biodiversity Units” from landowners who have enhanced or created new habitats on their land, typically for a minimum of 30 years.
A Habitat Bank is a dedicated area of land where new habitats, such as meadows and woodlands, are intentionally created and managed over the long term. The goal is to significantly boost and support biodiversity in that region.
A Woodland Carbon Unit (WCU) represents one tonne of CO2 removed from the atmosphere by new woodland creation in the UK. These units are independently verified under the Woodland Carbon Code, providing assurance of their environmental impact.
There’s several good reasons why using your land for Woodland Credits. Outside of the natural financial benefits (it’s estimated that companies pay between £10 and £30 per credit, or up to £15,000 per hectare of land), you’re also making a considerable positive impact on our rapidly changing environment.
You’re also giving back to the community, in that you’re helping to improve and otherwise beautify land that might otherwise have been left untouched.
In some cases, yes. It may be possible to generate both carbon credits and biodiversity units from the same land, provided the activities do not “double-count” the same environmental benefit. We assess each project to identify opportunities for maximising value through stacking where eligible.
At Tariff, we partner with a company called Wanderlands to ensure that all of our Woodland Credits are properly sourced and accredited.
