RSK Wilding
Leaving a better legacy for future generations
Bigger. Better. Wilder.
RSK Wilding is a team within RSK Biocensus, bringing together an unrivalled breadth of expertise in biodiversity, sustainable land management and climate science from across the RSK group of businesses to help leave a lasting legacy for UK biodiversity, the environment and the climate.
RSK Biocensus is a Responsible Body, as designated under the Environment Act 2021, and is able to carry out compliance monitoring of others’ habitat banks and to enter into conservation covenants. The Responsible Body sits within, and is wholly run by, the RSK Wilding team, led by Dr. Tim Graham.
RSK Wilding is on a mission to use habitat restoration as a means of offsetting clients’ biodiversity and carbon impacts while concurrently generating other environmental and social benefits. Whether employing interventionist approaches (such as the creations of wetlands or the sowing of wildflower meadows) or relying upon the ultimate low-intervention approach of rewilding, our aim is always to optimise the natural capital benefits of our restoration.
Habitat restoration and rewilding is not just for conservationists
We want to make habitat restoration and biodiversity enhancement an option for businesses, big or small, to offset their carbon emissions and ecological impacts while at the same time helping to reverse decades of environmental degradation, biodiversity loss and climate impacts.
By doing this, we will be playing our part in leaving a better legacy for future generations.
In partnership with our developer clients, landowners, habitat banks, local authorities and other stakeholders, we will restore degraded areas of the UK’s landscape to the natural, biodiverse and wild place it used to be, thereby connecting existing protected areas and creating essential nature networks across the land.
And because we understand the importance of high-quality agricultural land for food production, we work alongside farmers not against them, encouraging the use of regenerative agriculture on productive land and the creation of habitats for biodiversity and/or carbon offsetting on the more marginal areas.
Let’s go bigger, better, wilder!
