Looking to improve nature on your land? We can help

Real Wild Estates is a unique land management and land acquisition business, specialising in ecosystem restoration and nature recovery at scale. We do this by delivering landholders and investors with viable financial options and returns - alongside gold standard nature restoration on large landscapes - throbbing with an abundance of wildlife, birdlife, insectlife and plantlife.

Real Wild Estates works with clients seeking long- term returns from the most vital British business of all: restoring our natural world.

The world faces biodiversity meltdown, with the UK suffering accelerating biodiversity declines. At the same time, landowners and land investors are now stepping forward to restore nature and wildlife at a scale never seen in our country before.

Many, however, are unsure how to fully succeed in this new space: whether ecologically, structurally or financially. Enter Real Wild Estates: the only complete service provider for viable, landscape-scale nature restoration that covers the whole of the UK.

Just a year or two ago, it was widely considered a myth that nature restoration could not only be financially viable, but more profitable than existing land uses. Real Wild Estates’ financial modelling has proven otherwise. Even the largest traditional land agent in the UK – in their Business of Rewilding report – used more rudimentary financial analysis of Countryside Stewardship grants alone, to show that nature restoration is now a favourably economic land use. Real Wild Estates uses sophisticated financial modelling, drawing on both conventional and new income streams, to create diversified financial opportunities for landowners. Rather than placing a heavy reliance upon any one source of revenue, we create diversified rural business plans that are resilient to both market and policy changes.

Our unique proprietary model allows us to indicatively model income for any farm or estate seeking to restore land to nature. Real estate, ecotourism, corporate income, meat yields, and the very latest natural capital income streams, including carbon, are fused to provide a one to thirty-year financial income model. This can then be reliably compared against existing revenue streams.

The greater the vigour of the nature restoration process, the more natural capital is unlocked. The more ambitious the landholder, the greater the potential to maximise real estate revenues through ecotourism. And the more climate-resilient your landholding, the more reliable these future income streams will be.

Real Wild Estates work with those who are dedicated to restoring native landscapes and species, and advocate for a long term approach to financial yield and ecological return. There is no quick fix to restoring the natural world: we can help you run a viable business and restore wildlife, but the process will take time. And we are well aware that greenwash is all around us. It is possible, for example, to sequester carbon merely by planting one species of spruce. We prefer to keep integrity and ambition high.

Historically, the concept of a legacy landscape is nothing new. Our deer estates and grouse moors reflect successful Victorian fashions. But the times, and climate, are changing. Many UK landscapes, and landowners, are now ready for a more sustainable future. RWE work with landowners to reconstruct ecosystems. We do this by ensuring natural regeneration, native woodland planting, wetland & floodplain restoration and scrub-grassland creation. We are very aware of the importance of mosaic and open habitats, and use naturalistic grazing to maintain diversity in a landscape. We re-align river systems back to a more natural course, slowing the flow of water, and wherever possible advocate for reintroductions of species such as beavers to do the job more effectively. We enhance existing habitats whilst creating new ones from scratch.

Real Wild Estates are aware that many landowners are rightly proud of the great conservation work they are already undertaking. Whether saving the curlew or gamekeeping for grey partridges, we work pragmatically with existing managers to ensure that their wildlife thrives.

Nature is a legacy that can be handed down for generations and we set out with farmers and landowners to put this into practice.
