NATURAL CAPITAL APPRAISAL
For some years our specialists in this field have been researching the concept of Natural Capital and how best to implement strategies for clients to improve land management and future environmental security, and to capture emerging environmental funding opportunities as an alternative to traditional farming.
We are working closely with owners, managers and existing advisory teams to develop bespoke approaches, undertaking both high level and detailed opportunity assessments and mapping that will deliver concise and relevant information to guide estate strategies and inform cost/benefit appraisals.

“Natural Capital has recently been a key focus for estate businesses across the rural sector. At Deene we had reviewed a number of options but wanted a more bespoke approach that would help the estate team and our key advisors to understand the opportunities and risks linked with our key objectives and existing strategic planning.
We worked closely with the Nicholsons (formerly Lockhart Garratt) team to develop a suite of detailed plans, natural capital matrices and financial models, that were focused on our specific situation and highlighted clearly those opportunities that we felt would be key to securing the estate’s financial future. This information has proved very helpful to the Trustees and will undoubtedly be invaluable in guiding estate decisions as our environmental assets become more and more important.”
