As land managers face increasingly complex decisions around land use, carbon and biodiversity markets are becoming an important part of the picture. As a newly licensed Wilder Carbon Consultant, Swallowtail Consulting is helping estates, clusters, and Landscape Recovery groups assess whether Wilder Carbon offers a credible, high-integrity route for carbon and nature outcomes—supporting better early-stage decisions before land is committed.

Swallowtail Consulting has partnered with Great Yellow and Deutsche Bank to help scale the UK biodiversity credit market under the Biodiversity Net Gain framework. The collaboration focuses on developing high-integrity, landscape-scale projects across England and Wales—supporting market transparency, resilience and long-term ecological recovery.

Environmental grant funding has become a powerful catalyst for landowners and farmers looking to deliver meaningful change—but success depends on what happens long before delivery begins. At Swallowtail, much of our work focuses on early-stage scoping, feasibility and visioning: helping landowners understand whether a project is viable, fundable and capable of delivering real ecological and financial returns. From securing feasibility funding to shaping landscape-scale visions, this early groundwork is where strong projects are made.
