Voluntary Biodiversity Credits for Organisations and Individuals

Voluntary Biodiversity Credits from just £200

Voluntary Biodiversity Credits (VBCs) are a way for organisations and individuals to directly fund real, measurable habitat restoration.

Through Nattergal’s partnership with Earthly, each VBC purchase supports high‑integrity, science-led Nature recovery in the UK and gives you transparent, verified proof of your impact.

Costing just £200, each credit represents 9 sqm of land at Boothby Wildland that is actively being restored - from river edges and grassland to ponds, wetlands and scrub.

Why VBCs are perfect for businesses

Differentiate your business with real UK Nature recovery by becoming a recognised supporter of on‑the‑ground restoration. Your credits fund practical interventions such as river restoration, pond creation, scrub establishment and grassland regeneration, delivering landscape‑level benefits including improved pollination, flood resilience, soil health and carbon sequestration - demonstrating genuine environmental leadership.

Engage employees and clients by bringing your sustainability strategy to life through bespoke initiatives like “1 credit per employee,” “1 credit per milestone” or “1 credit per KPI met.” You’ll also gain preferential team‑day booking rates at Nattergal’s Wildlands, offering immersive, Nature‑based experiences that strengthen team connection and reinforce your organisation’s commitment to the environment.

Show measurable, verified impact with access to Earthly’s customer portal, which provides third‑party‑verified metrics, reporting‑ready data for TNFD, SBTN and corporate sustainability disclosures, and transparent storytelling assets. Together, these tools give your organisation everything needed for credible, robust and traceable impact reporting.

A meaningful gift or legacy for Individuals

Connect with a real piece of restored Nature. A VBC gives you a tangible link to a real place in the UK where nature is actively recovering, offering a meaningful way to engage with landscape restoration.

Create meaningful moments and traditions. You can use your credit to honour a loved one, celebrate a special occasion or begin a family tradition of supporting nature - making your contribution both personal and lasting.

Visit and witness restoration first‑hand. Your square of Boothby Wildland is mapped to precise What3Words coordinates, and you’re welcome to explore the site via 21km of public footpaths to see nature returning. Your support helps restore habitats for birds, insects, mammals and amphibians, contributing to long‑term stewardship of a landscape future generations can enjoy.

How does it work?

Each VBC represents 9 sqm (3×3 sqm) of land currently being rewilded at Boothby Wildland.
Your square is viewable on your Earthly customer portal and fully traceable via What3Words.
Every credit is listed on Earthly’s transparent public register.
VBCs are verified using Defra’s statutory Biodiversity Net Gain metric, with additional Nattergal monitoring covering soil health, species abundance and community engagement.
Land is secured for Nature restoration for a minimum of 30 years through Section 106 agreements or conservation covenants, ensuring long-lasting ecological and social benefit.
