The Knepp Habitat Bank
The Knepp habitat bank spans four carefully selected zones, each chosen to enhance ecological connectivity across our wider rewilded landscape. These areas currently hold low biodiversity value — but through restoration, we’re transforming them into dynamic, nature-rich ecosystems.
Together, these habitats will deliver significant biodiversity uplift, supporting long-term nature recovery at Knepp.
Over the past 20 years, we’ve let natural processes shape the land, welcoming back rare species like nightingales, purple emperors, and turtle doves. Now, we’re building on that success through the creation of our dedicated Habitat Bank, offering off-site BNG units to support responsible development.
Backed by science, managed for the long term, and rooted in ecological integrity — Knepp’s BNG offering connects developers with genuine, high-value nature recovery
