Expert environmental land management solutions

Smart Land Management & Ecology (SLME) provides independent advice and support on environmental land management. We combine an understanding of land management and farming systems with knowledge of habitat management and creation, species conservation, soil and water management to create resilient, sustainable and profitable farming businesses.  We are also heavily involved in landscape scale conservation, working with individual landowners and large-scale collaborative approaches to deliver positive environmental change in the wider landscape.

Comprehensive expertise in land management & ecology

We have over 40 combined years of experience across all aspects of land management and ecology including practical delivery as well as national policy and strategy implementation. We specialise in making government policy, environmental incentives, regulations and emerging environmental markets accessible for farmers and land managers at a practical delivery level. We work with clients through the whole process from inception through to delivery and ongoing management.

Beavers in Wiltshire

Beavers are thriving along Wiltshire’s rivers, naturally creating wetlands, boosting biodiversity, and changing the landscape in powerful ways. Their comeback brings big benefits, but also new challenges around land use, water management, and local ecology. At SLME, we’re helping communities, landowners, and organisations understand and adapt to this change.
