Nature recovery in action: What Belmont Estate can teach business
What can businesses learn from rewilding, rewetting and reconnecting people with nature? In this episode of ESG in Action, Alex Holsgrove Jones is joined by Henry Rossiter, Business Development Director at Belmont Estate , to explore how land stewardship, regenerative thinking and nature connection can support long-term environmental and social impact. And how businesses can play a practical role in nature recovery, supporting local communities, schools and their own employees. Alex and Henry discuss: How rewilding and rewetting can help nature recover – beyond simply "shutting the gates and walking away" Why biodiversity net gain can create opportunities for developers, landowners, and communities while funding long-term habitat improvement What Belmont’s increase in recorded species from 342 to around 2,739 shows about the impact of giving nature space to recover The real-life impact of Belmont’s nature connection programmes, including contributing to one young person’s first full night’s sleep Why investing in nature can support business resilience and recruitment, as well as colleague wellbeing.
