Introducing Ecoloji
Ecoloji is a growing collective of nature-led environmental brands, including The BNG Guy, H2ology, WildGain, BioRail and future specialist ventures focused on ecology, biodiversity, infrastructure and habitat bank specialisation.
Ecoloji has been created to bring together practical ecological expertise, commercial awareness and a genuine passion for the natural world. Through our brands, we help developers, landowners, infrastructure projects and planning professionals understand, manage and enhance biodiversity across the places we live, work and build.
Our mission is simple: to make ecology clearer, more accessible and more valuable. Whether we are delivering Biodiversity Net Gain assessments, protected species surveys, rail ecology support, habitat banking advice or long-term land management strategies, we focus on practical solutions that work for both nature and our clients.
At the heart of Ecoloji is the belief that nature should not be treated as an obstacle to development, but as essential infrastructure. We want to positively change how our clients view ecology on their sites — moving it away from being a planning hurdle and towards something that adds long-term environmental, social and commercial value.
Through our group of solutions, we support clients with:
- Biodiversity Net Gain, habitat assessments, HMMPs and ecological surveys.
- We focus on the role of infrastructure corridors as vital ecological networks, helping the sector deliver works safely, legally and with biodiversity at the forefront.
- We support landowners to deliver and sell habitat units for BNG offsetting, from initial idea through to live sellable units.
- We protect our watercourses, improve our rivers and streams and provide MoRPH for BNG
- and so much more – if it’s ecology, we have you covered.
Our approach is professional, grounded and forward-thinking. We combine technical ecological knowledge with clear communication, honest advice and a strong understanding of planning, development and infrastructure delivery.
Ecoloji is built around a simple idea: better ecology, better places, better outcomes.
A solution for
every project.
Expert Ecology Consultancy in BNG & Protected Species.
At The BNG Guy, we make ecological consultancy simple, compliant, and accessible for every project. Founded by experienced ecologists with a passion for practical, results-driven environmental solutions, The BNG Guy has become a trusted name for developers, planners, and landowners across the UK seeking expert ecological support that goes beyond box-ticking.
We specialise in end-to-end ecological delivery — from Preliminary Ecological Appraisals (PEA) and BNG Metric calculations, through to Habitat Management and Monitoring Plans (HMMPs), protected species surveys, and even the purchase of BNG units through our national partnership network.
Our mission is to ensure that every client achieves measurable biodiversity gains while meeting planning policy and legislative requirements under the Environment Act 2021.
Unlike traditional consultancies, The BNG Guy bridges the gap between ecology and development. We understand the pressures of planning timelines, budgets, and stakeholder expectations — and our role is to make BNG compliance efficient, transparent, and value-adding.
Whether you’re managing a small housing scheme, a large-scale infrastructure project, or looking to sell BNG units from your land, we’ll guide you through every stage with clarity, integrity, and technical excellence.
At The BNG Guy, we don’t just measure biodiversity — we build it back better.
Expert MoRPH River Surveys & Watercourse Habitat Assessments
Watercourses in the UK have famously been adapted and modified for development across hundreds of years.
Modular River Physical Survey (MoRPH) and River Habitat Surveys (RHS) can be undertaken by our licenced ecological experts will work closely with you to ensure you receive a comprehensive MoRPH River Survey and River Habitat Survey.
Our in-house experts boast the necessary MoRPH training qualifications to execute surveys with precision and efficiency. We have a proven track record of reliability and accuracy and understand the importance of ensuring sustainability and the protection of water-dependent wildlife.
Rural Diversification & Ecology Compliance Made Simple
At WildGain, we help farmers, landowners and rural businesses turn ecological requirements into practical opportunities for their land. We provide straightforward ecological consultancy for farm diversification, Biodiversity Net Gain, protected species legislation and long-term habitat management across the UK.
We understand that ecology can feel complicated, especially when it affects planning applications, farm improvements, rural diversification projects or the future use of your land. Our role is to make the process clear, compliant and commercially useful, helping you make informed decisions without unnecessary delays or confusion.
WildGain specialises in rural ecological consultancy, including BNG habitat bank creation, protected species surveys, Preliminary Ecological Appraisals, biodiversity management plans, habitat enhancement strategies, grant and funding guidance, and ecological support for planning applications.
Whether you are looking to create a Biodiversity Net Gain habitat bank, improve your land for wildlife, meet protected species legislation, support a planning application or explore biodiversity grants, we provide practical advice that works for real farms, estates and rural enterprises.
At WildGain, we do not just help you meet ecological rules. We help you make nature recovery work for your land, your business and your future.
Rail, Highways & Civils Infrastructure
BioRail provides specialist ecological support for infrastructure projects where safety, programme certainty and environmental compliance matter. We work across rail, highways and civils schemes, delivering clear ecological advice, practical mitigation and responsive survey support from early feasibility through to works on site.
From ecological appraisals and protected species surveys to Biodiversity Net Gain, ecological clerk of works and vegetation clearance supervision, our role is simple: to help project teams understand ecological constraints early, avoid unnecessary delays and keep works moving with confidence.
BioRail supports project teams who need ecology to be practical, commercially aware and aligned with site realities. We are trusted by clients working in rail, highways and construction because we communicate clearly, understand operational constraints and focus on solutions.
Our team specialises in ecology consultancy for rail, highways and civils infrastructure. With over 15 years of ecological experience, we provide ecological appraisals, protected species surveys, Biodiversity Net Gain support and ecological clerk of works services for projects across the UK.
We understand the pressures of infrastructure delivery: tight programmes, possession planning, contractor coordination, safety requirements and the need for clear evidence. Our reports and site support are designed to give project teams practical answers, not unnecessary complexity.
