Aubrey Farm introduces The Keyhaven Natural Capital Scheme

We have read on the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust website that The Keyhaven Natural Capital Scheme is being delivered on the 605-acre Aubrey Farm in Keyhaven by Kingwell (Aubrey) Ltd.

Once established, the land is to be turned over from farming to nature, to create a 1,000-acre ‘Nature Reserve’ that connects a site of special scientific interest, a ramsar wetlands site, and special conservation areas to the west of the Pennington Marshes.

To form The Keyhaven Natural Capital Scheme, land owners, Kingwell have partnered with New Forest District Council, New Forest National Park Authority and the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust.

The scheme aims to deliver the first Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and Nitrate Mitigation scheme in the New Forest. It also looks to mitigate water quality impacts from development sites within the New Forest District and National Park areas.

Developers now must ensure wildlife is left in a better state than it was before any development takes place. This requires a 10% improvement or ‘Biodiversity Net Gain’. 

With the need for thousands more homes to be built across the UK, The Keyhaven Natural Capital Scheme, has been created to provide 'residential and commercial property developers with nature-based solutions to ensure that there is no nature deficit following their developments'.

----------------------------
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Units are a standardized way to measure biodiversity value and calculate the impact of development projects on nature. 

The BNG Units are tailored to support developers in the housebuilding and construction sector's demand for offset credits towards Net Zero. BNG Units are registered on the national BNG Register.

Audrey Farm offers: 1199 Habitat BNG Units, 57 Hedgerow BNG Units, and 0.5 River BNG Units.

Nitrate Credits are where developers can purchase nitrate credits to offset the nitrogen they release into the environment. One credit is required to mitigate one kilogram of nitrogen.

Audrey Farm offers: 3,987 Nitrate Credits for £3500 per credit.

----------------------------
If we understand the scheme correctly, it appears that areas of food farming land is to be removed and returned to nature, alongside unfarmed land, to create 'credits' that property developers can buy and use towards Net Zero targets.

----------------------------
Other plans for Aubrey Farm include: Conversion and development of a former cattle barn to provide storage units, conversion of derelict farm buildings for commercial or leisure use, and in the longer term, wider commercial and residential development opportunities.

Methodist Church awarded Eco Church Bronze Award

Milford on Sea Methodist Church has been awarded an Eco Church Bronze Award from A Rocha UK who are a Christian charity working to protect and restore the natural world and committed to equipping Christians and churches in the UK to care for the environment.

To enable Milford on Sea Methodist Church to gain this award it needed to look at five different areas of church life: Worship and teaching, Buildings and Energy, Land and Nature, Community and Global Engagement and Lifestyle. 

Over the last year the church has reviewed current practices, both good and not so good and how these impact on the wider environment. They have then implemented changes where needs be and put in place new practices and ways of supporting both the church community and the wider community. Examples include targeting the reduction of energy use and lowering the churches carbon footprint. Signage which reminds us of the need to save energy such as notices to remind everyone to turn lights off. Setting up a recycling programme and using recycled toilet paper. Taking part in litter picks, support members getting to church and reducing any food waste, no roast potato ever goes to waste at the Methodist Church! Whilst all these things are individually small, when added together they make an impact.

The plans are to continue building on their award into 2025 with a number of projects including organising events for all church members such as a Bird Watching trip, and environmental nature talks. They are also working with a local landscaping company to develop the area at the back of the church and beyond the carpark. The plan is to open up this area, which is currently mainly brambles, to turn it into an area of grass with wild flowers, shrubs, bug houses and bird feeders with a bench where church members can sit, relax and reflect. The hope is that this will all be completed during 2025.

Milford on Sea Methodist Church, meets for worship every Sunday at 10.45am. Whilst they are a small community they are very welcoming. If you would like to join them for worship, please do come along any Sunday at 10.45am. 

The church will be holding it Christmas Carol Service on Sunday December 22nd at 10.45am. Everyone welcome.
