The 30 by 30 Restore Unit

Nature recovery is more than just numbers on a page.

This is the unit that tells a story. Each unit is thirty square metres of restoration work in UK nature. Follow the work, follow the regeneration, help write the story.

§01 · The portfolio

Five projects. Three proceedable now.

Restore manages five restoration projects across the United Kingdom, from Atlantic seaboard to lowland mosaic. Three are proceedable today and taking commitments now: Emblehope, Southill and Fingrith Hall. Two are in the pipeline: Taransay and Stonehill, ready to move when commitment unlocks them.

§02 · A simple unit, unlimited outcomes

A simple unit.
Unlimited outcomes.

Nature is complex. At Restore, we don't dictate the terms to nature. Our ecologists do the work, but we leave the uplift up to nature. You pay for the work done, then watch nature unfold in its complexity, on its own terms, with our PROOF platform.

PROOF · Live from the ground

Watch nature unfold on its own terms.

PROOF is the dashboard that turns 30 m² of work on the ground into something you can feel. Species detections as they happen. Soundscapes recorded at dawn. Soil and water readings ticking up week by week. The work is the receipt. The story writes itself.

One unit, drawn to scale. About the size of three parking spaces.

We sell you the activity. The ecological change comes free.

Many nature instruments project a future ecological outcome and sell forward against the projection. The 30 by 30 Restore Unit takes a different route. You fund documented ecological work inside a defined twelve-month window, on a named site, with monitoring evidence attached. The unit is the receipt for the activity. The change in the land is what we promise to make happen, not what we sell you.

This makes the integrity question simpler. The work either happened on the land, or it did not. The portal shows you which, in close to real time.

The price is fixed at £10 per unit. No secondary market, no resale, no tier discount. Where a trusted partner brings a buyer to us, we may pay them an agreed fee. That cost sits with Restore, never with the £10 you fund.

◆
Input-verified We verify what has been done on the ground inside the activity period, not a forward-looking outcome model. Buyers fund completed restoration work, not a promise.
◆
Custodial, not tradeable Units cannot be resold, brokered or transferred. They are held in your organisation's name on the register from the moment of purchase. This design choice removes the speculation pathway entirely.
◆
Project-anchored Every unit is bonded to a named, mapped, monitored UK restoration site. You see the land. You watch it change. Your auditors can visit it.
◆
Stackable, not duplicative 30 by 30 Restore Units sit alongside your statutory obligations and your existing nature partnerships. They are not Biodiversity Net Gain. They are not a carbon offset. They are additive by design, with no double-counting.
§03 · Model your commitment

Three partnership levels. From Foundation to Transformational.

Organisations enter at one of three annual commitment levels. Move the slider to compare. Every tier funds the same input-verified units at the same fixed £10 per unit price. What changes is the scale of ground unlocked, the number of projects you are anchored to, and the depth of access, reporting and storytelling that comes back to you. Transformational Partners can also move a pipeline project into proceedable, starting at £250,000.

      How many should I buy?

      There is no single right number. The right number is the one that matches the impact you want to have, not the budget line you happen to spend it from. Here are four ways organisations arrive at theirs.

      Start from your nature dependence

      If you have run a TNFD or LEAP assessment, you already know which parts of your business lean on nature. Match the commitment to the scale of that dependence. A business materially reliant on freshwater, soil or pollination anchors at Impact or above.

      A share of the brand budget

      Most partners fund this from the marketing line, not the carbon line. One to three per cent of annual marketing spend is a common starting point, and it buys a story that runs all year rather than a campaign that ends.

      Cost per customer won

      If purpose-led customers and talent already choose you for what you stand for, weigh the commitment against what you pay to win them. A Foundation partnership often costs less than a single sales hire, and every customer can see it.

      What sets you apart

      If your competitors all buy the same generic offsets, a named UK restoration site held in your name is the difference. The only question left is how visible you want that difference to be.

      Three organisations, three routes in
      A consumer brand · marketing-led
      £75,000 · Impact Partner

      Two per cent of a £3.75m marketing budget. Two named projects, external comms rights, a co-drafted case study. The spend that used to buy one campaign now buys a story their customers can follow all year.

      A mid-market firm · TNFD-driven
      £25,000 · Foundation Partner

      Matched to the single material nature dependence flagged in their LEAP assessment. One proceedable site, quarterly evidence, and a defensible CSRD E4 line their auditors can stand behind.

      A corporate · legacy-minded
      £250,000 · Transformational Partner

      Enough to move a pipeline project into proceedable. Their name on the site that brought it back. "I was born on Taransay. Here is what we did about it."

      §04 · Where the £10 goes
      Where the £10 goes

      Eighty per cent always goes to nature.

      Buyers are entitled to know what their £10 actually does. The split below is indicative and applies at portfolio level. Exact proportions vary by site and funding structure, and are pending formal sign-off ahead of the public register going live.

      §05 · Verification and the register

      The infrastructure underneath the unit.

      Every unit is backed by an evidence chain. Monitoring data from the ground, and a register that records who holds what, both built to survive scrutiny. The short version is that the work is measured, recorded and independently checkable. The full engineering is one click below.

      The MRV stack

      Every project carries an integrated monitoring protocol from baseline onward. Field data is platform-managed, securely stored, and audit-ready.

      • Field protocolCamera traps, acoustic sensors, drone surveys, manual transects on a fixed cadence
      • Data partnerNatureNode platform, providing real-time data streamable through the portal, integrated by Application Programming Interface (API)
      • BaselinesEstablished at the start of monitored activity, archived and inspectable, methodology disclosed per site. Baseline cost is covered by 30 by 30 sales, not held back from the restoration work itself.
      • CadenceQuarterly Q1 to Q4 ecological reports, plus annual comprehensive assessments
      • StorageAll ecological data securely stored and audit-ready. Independent third-party verification is on the roadmap and offered on request

      The register

      Every unit lives in the Restore register, a structured database of five linked tables. One source of truth. No unit appears twice. No unit is re-sold.

      Note. 30 by 30 Restore Units are a voluntary nature contribution. They are an activity-based receipt for monitored restoration work, not a carbon offset, and should not be reported against tonnes-of-Carbon-Dioxide-Equivalent (CO2e) accounting lines. They do not discharge statutory Biodiversity Net Gain obligations. They are complementary to, not a substitute for, your existing nature partnerships. Independent third-party verification of register and methodology is on the roadmap and available to buyers on request.
