About RSK Wilding:
Established in early 2020, we are a multidisciplinary team supporting innovative and strategic solutions across ecological restoration and nature recovery. We bring together an unrivalled breadth of expertise in biodiversity, restoration, sustainable land management and environmental law.
We are part of the RSK Biocensus business, and we put our expertise to use as part of multi-disciplinary teams within RSK Group to help a range of clients, from large-scale developers, public authorities, utilities, all the way through to passionate landowners, to offset carbon emissions and achieve biodiversity net gain (and other natural capital benefits) through ecological restoration and rewilding across the UK. Our aim is thus to make a real difference with action on the nature and climate crisis, and to leave a better legacy for future generations.

Our interdisciplinary teams have operated on and contributed to dozens of specialised and multimillion-pound projects across the UK. Our refined service offering oversees a complete range of ecological services, including advising on purchasing land, undertaking surveys and environmental impact assessments and post-consent licensing and monitoring.
As a market-leading ecological consultancy, we rely on our expert and multi-disciplinary teams of more than 150 in-house staff, supported by a nationwide network of more than 700 quality-assured consultant ecologists. We have the scale and capabilities to progress large-scale projects and the range of expert skills for the most complex or sensitive programmes. We work with our clients to make their developments suitable for first-hand users and the surrounding wildlife. RSK Biocensus teams identify environmental risks and seek opportunities to enhance developments. We will not identify and highlight a problem without offering a corresponding solution.
