Conservation Covenant Services
Legal certainty for meaningful conservation
Conservation Covenants
Conservation covenants provide a legally binding way to protect habitats, biodiversity, and heritage features in perpetuity, even as land changes ownership. These flexible, voluntary agreements allow landowners to secure payments for eco-friendly practices, support biodiversity net gain initiatives, and promote public good through tailored restrictions or positive actions like habitat restoration. Conservation Covenant Services specialise in providing the legal framework and ongoing monitoring for:
Biodiversity
Net Gain
Nitrate Mitigation
Environment Protection
What We Do
Conservation Covenant Services are a designated Responsible Body providing conservation covenants & associated services to landowners, developers, councils, National Infrastructure projects, and Local Authorities.

Get in contact with us to find out how a conservation covenant will create impactful environmental benefits on your land.
Nature Recovery
Nature recovery depends on long-term, joined-up action across landscapes, and Conservation Covenants provide a reliable and durable way to secure that commitment. We create legally binding agreements that attach to the land rather than the landowner, this locks in habitat protection, restoration, and management well beyond individual projects or political cycles, giving confidence to developers, planners, and communities that gains for biodiversity will endure.
Our combination of ecological vision and robust legal mechanism helps turn strategic plans for wildlife corridors, species recovery, and climate resilience into enforceable, monitorable outcomes on the ground, so that each agreement becomes a building block in a wider network of thriving, connected nature-rich places
