SUMMARY:Biodiversity Net Gain: An Introduction for Farmers and Landowners
DESCRIPTION:Biodiversity net gain (BNG) is a way to contribute to the recovery of nature.\n\n\nBiodiversity net gain (BNG) is a new piece of legislation that forces developers to contribute to nature recovery\, by ensuring that biodiversity is left in a measurably better state\, after a development than before. Where developers cannot deliver a 10% increase in biodiversity on their site\, they must pay other landowners to create and improve habitats on their behalf. This has resulted in new opportunities for farmers to improve nature\, benefit from their marginal/unproductive land\, and make a profit while doing so. \n  \nJoin this workshop to find out more\, as we will cover: \n\nWhat is meant by Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)\, and how does it work?\nWhat is the role of farmers in delivering BNG?\nWhy should BNG be of interest to farmers and landowners in the SW?\nWhat are the potential risks and benefits for farmers and landowners?\nWho is driving\, promoting and regulating BNG in the UK?\nWhat are my next steps if I want to know more?\n\n  \nThis workshop will involve a presentation with questions and discussion. If you already have questions you’d like to see answered\, please send them beforehand to chris@naturalasset.co.uk. The session will be run by Chris from Natural Asset Partners. \n  \nEligibility: \nThis workshop is available to any farmer or land manager in Devon\, Somerset\, Dorset\, Cornwall\, or the Isles of Scilly currently in receipt of BPS payments. \nTo be eligible to participate in the Future Farming Resilience project and receive subsequent 1:1 support or attend further workshops\, you will be required to complete a Monitoring Information form.

SUMMARY:Biodiversity Net Gain: An Introduction for Farmers and Landowners
DESCRIPTION:Biodiversity net gain (BNG) is a way to contribute to the recovery of nature.\n\n\nBiodiversity net gain (BNG) is a new piece of legislation that forces developers to contribute to nature recovery\, by ensuring that biodiversity is left in a measurably better state\, after a development than before. Where developers cannot deliver a 10% increase in biodiversity on their site\, they must pay other landowners to create and improve habitats on their behalf. This has resulted in new opportunities for farmers to improve nature\, benefit from their marginal/unproductive land\, and make a profit while doing so. \n  \nJoin this workshop to find out more\, as we will cover: \n\nWhat is meant by Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)\, and how does it work?\nWhat is the role of farmers in delivering BNG?\nWhy should BNG be of interest to farmers and landowners in the SW?\nWhat are the potential risks and benefits for farmers and landowners?\nWho is driving\, promoting and regulating BNG in the UK?\nWhat are my next steps if I want to know more?\n\n  \nThis workshop will involve a presentation with questions and discussion. If you already have questions you’d like to see answered\, please send them beforehand to chris@naturalasset.co.uk. The session will be run by Chris from Natural Asset Partners. \n  \nEligibility: \nThis workshop is available to any farmer or land manager in Devon\, Somerset\, Dorset\, Cornwall\, or the Isles of Scilly currently in receipt of BPS payments. \nTo be eligible to participate in the Future Farming Resilience project and receive subsequent 1:1 support or attend further workshops\, you will be required to complete a Monitoring Information form. Forms will be provided by your advisor\, at a workshop\, or emailed to you after an online workshop. Please ensure forms are completed swiftly.
