Shaping the Future of Biodiversity Net Gain

Director Eleanor Trenfield joined an expert panel at the Implementing Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) in Construction roundtable sponsored by Biofarm. This insightful gathering brought together industry leaders to discuss the successes and challenges of implementing BNG in the construction sector.

The roundtable was an inspiring opportunity to share EDLA’s perspectives and hear from thought leaders across ecology, construction, and environmental management.

Eleanor highlighted the importance of balancing public space enjoyment with meaningful biodiversity improvements – something we’re passionate about integrating into all our projects. She also raised the fundamental importance of considering BNG at the earliest viability stages and within councils’ site appraisal and selection process when identifying sites for growth in local plans to ensure BNG is thoughtfully and appropriately incorporated into development.
