Landowners
Pigeon Earth is committed to partnering with landowners and their agents / advisors to find a solution that supports existing farm and estate businesses and diversification initiatives.
Together we can establish arrangements that work for your business whilst optimising the biodiversity of your land. Each arrangement will differ, but typically we take a lease interest in your land for circa 30 years. You will receive a rental income, management contract and uplift over and above an agreed baseline calculation.
We work collaboratively with landowners to establish a management plan to run alongside your existing land operations and considering your tax position. Once the agreement is in place, Pigeon Earth manages the rest.
