Woodoaks Farm Habitat Bank
BNG registered
Added on 26/05/2025Overview
Description
Woodoaks is a 300-acre mixed farm near Maple Cross in Hertfordshire, donated to the Soil Association Land Trust in 2020. The farm is more broadly working towards organic certification and combines habitat restoration with low-impact land management and a public engagement programme, so the habitat bank sits alongside a farm that people can visit and see. The BNG scheme, developed with Natural Asset Partners, forms a key part of the Woodoaks vision for sustainable farming and biodiversity improvement. Units are available for purchase at all fractional sizes. Please get in touch for more details.
