Kew REACH

Kew REACH offers a holistic approach to nature Restoration, Enhancement, Adaptation and Creation of Habitats. Based on Kew’s deep experience in researching, managing, and enhancing landscapes, it is powered by Kew’s cutting-edge science, and knowhow (the ‘Kew Method’). Kew REACH works with major corporates, landowners and commercial agricultural and forestry owners and operators to create positive environmental impact. We advise stakeholders and clients on how to either improve or create outstanding natural habitats in commercial agriculture, forestry, real estate, and natural landscapes with science-led, high-credibility solutions. Powered by Kew Science, it provides scientific knowhow, transparency, data, and accountability, ensuring scientific rigour and data is at the heart of any project it advises. Kew REACH offers full-service, end-to-end advisory from baselining and planning of habitats, implementation, and measurement to monitoring and calibration. It also provides support on supply-chain development for projects (e.g. advice on seed collection and seed banking for projects) to capability building (e.g. training and ongoing mentorship of project staff from local communities). Kew REACH is the Gaia Sciences Innovation (GSI) partnerships first investment across the platform of 12 of the world’s leading bioscience and ecology Institutes. In this instance, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and Greensphere Capital are working together to commercialise and scale the impact of world-leading research in biodiversity, botanical and fungal science that can help solve the dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss. Based in London and York, operating internationally now.
