With Joe's Blooms, you have the key tools that you need to create best-in-class Biodiversity Metric Sheets and Biodiversity Gain Plans. However, you will need some key bits of information and evidence
Make sure that the right person in your team is using the Biodiversity Gain Plan
For small sites, BNG doesn't have to be done by an ecologist, but it should be done by someone who is a "competent person". This means someone who has some training, experience or qualifications that make them suitable for undertaking BNG work.
You should have the right set-up!
A desktop and a mouse with a scrolling wheel are ideal. Our tools have been designed with those in mind - we will release mobile versions soon, but for now please do try and use desktops with a suitable mouse wherever possible!
You should have done your site survey!
When you come to complete the Biodiversity Net Gain tool, you should have already looked at your site, and know what habitats are where, and be able to answer basic questions about them.
Make sure you have photos!
You should have photos of all your different habitats ready to go. You might want to change or update them alter on, but having some photos to hand will help!
If you have one, have a site plan ready as well!
