We are proud to be celebrating the fifth anniversary of a pioneering partnership which has protected, supported and created natural habitats for wildlife all over the UK.
idverde has been working alongside national wildlife charity the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds), clocking up a raft of nature conservation achievements, since 2017.
Our association began when we asked the charity to support us with managing green spaces in the London Borough of Bromley.
We wanted to further develop our understanding and expertise around biodiversity and wildlife protection after winning the contract with Bromley Council, as it included management of Local Wildlife Sites, Local Nature Reserves and Sites of Special Scientific Interest.
Having seconded an RSPB colleague onto our team on a permanent basis, we have also worked with the charity’s wider team of specialists to ensure we manage these important conservation areas in the most positive, nature-focused way.
We now have six permanent advisers, helping to ensure an emphasis on species and habitat protection in all our projects across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Training and learning from our RSPB colleagues has helped to enhance our team’s surveying and species recording expertise, as well as leading to the development of community-based projects aimed at engaging people with their local environment.
