Wilder Doddington
BIODIVERSITY NET GAIN
Discover the habitat banks we are creating so that every developer, land and building owner can deliver on their conservation obligations quickly and simply.
Wilder Doddington is leading the way in Lincolnshire and across the East Midlands region as it works to put large-scale nature restoration into focus and offer a trusted and transparent source of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) units in the process.
Doddington’s BNG initiative and subsequent projects are a proactive response to new government regulations, placing Lincolnshire at the forefront of a nationwide effort to integrate environmental conservation with new developments.
Having become a legal requirement for most developments in 2024 under the Environment Act 2021, BNG legislation mandates that new developments must have a 10% greater biodiversity value after completion than before they started.
By purchasing BNG units, your company can offset any biodiversity losses caused by your commercial activities, contributing to the creation, restoration, or enhancement of habitats and ecosystems.
As a developer, you can either do this work yourself, on-site, or purchase BNG units from private landowners like Doddington. Doddington’s long-standing, nature-first approach to land management makes them an ideal partner for developers seeking a reliable, ethical, and – unusually – publicly visible and accessible BNG source.
By partnering with Wilder Doddington, companies stand to not only offset biodiversity loss but also invest in a 30-year, expertly managed vision to restore landscapes, create wildlife corridors, and deliver lasting positive impact for the environment and local communities.

Benefit from our ‘nature-first’ approach
Coupled with a nature-first approach, the expert team at Doddington is committed to managing the land across three evolving BNG sites in a particular and very visible way.
When working with Wilder, developers aren’t just buying BNG units, supplementing any work they are already doing on-site to offset developments. They are investing in the expert knowledge needed to manage these gain areas for the next three decades, ensuring a lasting, positive impact on the environment.
Explore our BNG sites
A strategic approach, developed to meet regional needs over the next 30 years, Wilder Doddington’s three sites – The New Orchard, The Woodland and The Wildland – aim to ensure a long-term evolution of our habitats, biodiversity, and wildlife corridors.
With Lincolnshire, sadly, reporting some of the lowest tree cover and countryside access figures in the UK, these projects are vital and provide developers with a visible opportunity to paint a bigger, positive picture for the area.
