Blog: Achieving BNG Targets…without the headache.

The implementation of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) in England has significant implications for Landscape Contractors, particularly concerning their liability in ensuring the successful installation, establishment and long-term maintenance of BNG projects. 

Landscape contractors are responsible for sourcing materials that meet the ecological and specified requirements of the BNG project. This includes ensuring that species are appropriate for the target grassland habitat and that materials are of high quality.
