case study - Habitat Bank Management
Client: Natural Asset Partners (NAP)
Service: Habitat Bank Advisory & Viability Support
Natural Asset Partners engaged ReVerte during the early stages of developing their habitat bank portfolio. NAP required clear, practical management protocols for a range of proposed habitats, along with accurate costings and financial modelling to ensure long-term deliverability and commercial viability. Our work helped translate ecological ambition into operational reality - supporting decision making for both scheme design and commercial viability.
Our approach
Drawing on extensive land management experience and a strong network within the ecological and agricultural sectors, ReVerte worked closely with Natural Asset Partners to provide clear, actionable support:
-
We reviewed each proposed habitat to assess long-term ecological viability, management intensity, and suitability for the landscape- ensuring early decisions were based on realistic delivery expectations.
-
We calculated detailed establishment and ongoing management costs for every habitat type, enabling NAP to understand the financial profile and long-term profitability of each option.
-
We developed realistic management protocols, aligned with UKHab guidance and industry best practice. Our team evaluated the machinery, labour, and resources typically available to landowners, shaping protocols that could be delivered efficiently and without unnecessary complexity. In turn, this provided protocols which are not only ecologically viable but also practical and commercial.
-
We integrated these costings and management requirements into NAP’s wider financial modelling, directly informing habitat selection, scheme design, and portfolio viability.
