Built for nature
Naturefy was founded by Jim Day out of a genuine passion for the natural environment and a belief that the UK has a unique opportunity to lead the world in ecological restoration.
Through creating and managing private nature reserves, Jim has seen first-hand the difference that dedicated land stewardship can make. But it also became clear that meaningful change at a national level requires more than individual action, it requires a political and economic system that properly values and supports nature.
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a powerful step in that direction. It has the potential to transform how development and nature coexist, putting the UK at the forefront of environmental policy. But today, the market is still evolving, fragmented, complex, and often difficult to navigate for both landowners and developers.
Naturefy exists to change that.
We are building the infrastructure to make the BNG market more transparent, accessible, and effective, helping landowners bring forward biodiversity projects, and enabling developers to find the right solutions with confidence. By improving how the market functions, we aim to encourage greater participation, connect the right people more easily, and ultimately deliver better outcomes for nature.
That’s why, at this stage, we do not charge for our services. Our focus is on making the market work. Because if BNG succeeds, it creates a scalable, long-term mechanism for restoring biodiversity across the UK.
Naturefy is Jim’s way of helping make that happen, scaling impact beyond individual projects and contributing to a future where development leaves nature in a better state than before.
