Biodiversity Matters
Making the built
environment better for nature
With over 20 years experience in nature conservation, both in the UK and overseas, Phoebe is passionate about making a difference to the natural world and is determined to help reverse the current biodiversity decline. She has a wealth of experience in habitat creation and the management of species and habitats across various landscapes. She is committed to making the built environment ’nature-inclusive’ and in so doing, creating spaces that benefit wildlife, people and the climate. Phoebe believes that nature should be accessible to all.
We offer an advisory service helping you boost biodiversity in a range of environments from homes and gardens; community spaces; Estates; and developments.
Simple steps can make a big difference.
We also offer advice on best management of green spaces for wildlife and wellbeing.
As an Approved Building with Nature Assessor, Phoebe can help you pursue assessment and accreditation for your development under the Building with Nature Standards.
Getting a scheme accredited can reduce planning uncertainty, help to engage local communities, and attract consumers who value the benefits of living with nature.
