    Farmland to rewilding 🚜 🌼 Shona Hatton joined the @nattergal_ltd Ltd Open Day at Boothby Wildland in Lincolnshire yesterday. Boothby Wildland is one of three wildlands owned by nature restoration company Nattergal, which is pioneering the commercialisation of nature restoration to help deliver the “30% by 2030” global biodiversity framework goal. The site is 617 hectares and has been phased back from arable farmland to natural vegetation and is home to a number of Beavers - which work hard to slow river flows and create new wetland habitats. An inspiring day, thanks Nattergal. #rewilding #biodiversity #landscapearchitect

    We’re pleased to share that we are now working with @greenly.earth to take a more measurable approach to sustainability across our practice. ♻️ Partnering with a regulated third-party specialist allows us to accurately track, manage and reduce our carbon emissions. Through this collaboration, we are implementing a range of initiatives across our operations to minimise environmental impact. Sustainability is integral to how we design, and this partnership is an important step in aligning our practice with the environmental values we bring to our projects. 🌿 #Sustainability #Landscapearchitecture #Carbonreduction #Netzero #Environmentaldesign
