Environmental Consultants

Shaping the future of the landscape

GSC Grays combine decades of experience in land management, agriculture and rural property, with a commitment to remain at the cutting edge of emerging opportunities for landowners and farmers.

One of these areas of opportunity is environmental management. We have specialist consultants with expertise in natural capital accounting, habitat management, forestry and planning and development, along with the practical knowledge of farming and sporting interests that is required to make environmental initiatives on private land a success.

Environmental Stewardship & Land Management Schemes

Optimising land use

GSC Grays have decades of experience in piloting, planning and delivering agri-environment schemes for farmers and landowners across a huge range of sectors and locations, including Higher Level Stewardship, Mid and Higher Tier Countryside Stewardship and the new Environmental Land Management scheme (ELM).

We design and deliver environmental schemes that produce optimal results for the environment and for your land and business. Our consultants are experienced in working with Natural England and the Rural Payments Agency and balancing multiple, at times conflicting, interests, including farming, sporting, public access, grazing and commons. We offer a full range of services to support new or existing stewardship schemes, from designing applications to project managing capital works programmes.
