Severn Solutions for Natures Recovery (SSNR) – Carbon Accounting, Market Research and Market Development

The SSNR project is a partnership between Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust and the Hasfield Estate, funded through Natural England’s Nature Returns programme. The project showcases how the restoration of semi-natural habitats can deliver nature-based solutions for climate change and how this can work within a farmed landscape, including through generating sustainable business and investment opportunities and providing benefit to local communities. Cumulus undertook a number of technical and financial assessments for the SSNR project including: carbon accounting; market research and market development; market readiness; and draft communications for the project Story Map. The project approach included: inception meeting; site visit; collation and analysis of data; engagement with stakeholders and target buyers; and reporting.
