Biodiversity Net Gain
Transform your course into a thriving ecosystem while enhancing playability and sustainability
What is Biodiversity Net Gain?
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a sustainable approach to development that ensures the natural environment is left in a better state than it was before. This means creating or enhancing habitats to increase biodiversity, support wildlife, and improve overall health of ecosystems.
We can help your course take its first steps into BNG with a focus on creating new habitats that will help support thriving ecosystems on your golf course. From wildflower meadows to wetlands and native planting, our strategies integrate seamlessly into your course, benefiting both the environment and your club’s reputation.
Why BNG Matters for Golf Courses
BNG isn’t just about sustainability – It’s about creating lasting value for your golf course and the environment.
- Enhance Course Appeal: A course rich in natural habitats offers an immersive experience, attracting new players and enhancing member satisfaction
- Support Local Ecosystems: BNG promotes healthier ecosystems by supporting pollinators, birds, and native wildlife, ensuring your course thrives in harmony with nature
- Meet Legal Requirements: New developments now require a minimum 10% increase in biodiversity, making BNG essential for compliance and future-proofing your projects
- Unlock New Revenue Streams: Sustainable golf developments can open opportunities for new revenue streams that weren’t present before.
How We Deliver Biodiversity Net Gain
Your BNG Questions?
Answered.
It’s an approach that aims to improve the natural environmental, leaving it in a better state than it was before. This is achieved through the creation, enhancement and retainment of habitats.
We start by assessing the current ecological state of your course and identifying areas for improvement. Our partnered ecologists then create a customised plan to boost biodiversity through habitat creation, such as wildflower meadows, wetlands, and native planting. We work closely with your club to implement and manage these changes, ensuring measurable improvements over time.
It depends. If you are looking to monetise your Biodiversity uplift than someone has to commit to the management of the habitat management plan for 30-years. This can be managed by Booth Golf & Leisure or by the landowner.

Although this depends on the size of the project.
Yes, there is scope for Booth Golf & Leisure to fund a Biodiversity Net Gain project. This would all depend on the size of the project, the more biodiversity you allow on your land the more likely it is that we can fund the entire project.
