The WeCology Field Day gives you everything you need to enter the Biodiversity Net Gain market — a verified ecological baseline, a BNG Metric 4.0 habitat assessment, and a live GeoDataTrack account loaded with your first real field data.
Rotational grazing. Wildflower margins. Reduced inputs. All the right things — but without a verified ecological baseline, none of it counts in the BNG market. The only thing missing is the data.
BNG standards require rigorous ecological data — UK Habitat Classification, condition assessments, distinctiveness scores. The statutory metric is complex and the expertise is hard to find.
You know your land is healthier than it was. But without independent verification you're questioning whether your regenerative efforts will be taken seriously by buyers, agents, and brokers.
Farmers who work with nature's intelligence — not against it — should be rewarded for it. Regenerative stewardship shouldn't go unrecognised and unrewarded.
"I know the frustration of watching land degrade when you know it could thrive. I've felt the gap between ecological intention and measurable impact — which is exactly why I created WeCology."
I'm Darren Smith, founder of WeCology and GeoDataTrack. I've spent years working across British farmland, African savannas, and everything in between — translating the deep wisdom of ecosystems into practical, verifiable outcomes that landowners, funders, and regulators trust.
The WeCology Field Day is the fastest route from good ecological intentions to verified, income-generating land. I lead every session personally, alongside the GeoDataTrack platform I built to make 30-year monitoring practical for working farms.
Small group. Real land. Real data. You leave with everything you need to enter the BNG market — not a certificate, but a live account and a verified baseline.
Meet the group and host farmer. Overview of the day, the land context, and your objectives. Tea, coffee, and an introduction to the site.
Introduction to the four ecosystem processes — Water Cycle, Mineral Cycle, Energy Flow, Community Dynamics — and how to read land health through the Holistic Management and STM lens.
Walk the land with the Savory Institute's 15-indicator Ecological Outcome Verification protocol. Record real observations. See your Ecological Health Index (EHI) score emerge in real time.
Hosted lunch on the farm. Interpret morning field data, discuss the EHI score, and open Q&A on your land's potential.
Map and assess your habitats using Biodiversity Metric 4.0. UK Habitat Classification, condition scoring, distinctiveness, and unit potential — calculated for each land parcel.
How to register as a BNG gain site. What your units are worth. Legal agreements, unit stacking with carbon credits, and what to do next with your verified baseline.
Your account is live and loaded with today's field data. You leave with the offline-first platform that will underpin your 30-year monitoring. Your first year's subscription is included.
Every ecosystem — from a Kent meadow to a Kenyan savanna — functions through the same four processes. Understanding them is the foundation of the WeCology approach and the lens through which your BNG baseline is read.
How effectively your land captures, stores, and cycles water through soil, vegetation, and atmosphere. The foundation of productivity.
The flow of nutrients through living organisms, soil, and organic matter — the engine of soil fertility and long-term land health.
How solar energy is captured and moved through your ecosystem — the foundation of biodiversity, biomass, and productivity.
The succession, diversity, and interrelationships of all living organisms on your land — the measure of ecological complexity.
"We are not separate from the ecosystems we seek to restore. We are participants in them — and our own regeneration is inseparable from the regeneration of the land."
— The WeCology PhilosophyEvery field survey completed on the WeCology Field Day is captured in GeoDataTrack — an offline-first mobile platform built specifically for ecological field data collection. It works without signal, syncs when connected, and produces the audit trail that regulators, buyers, and carbon standards require.
Your Field Day includes a 1-year GeoDataTrack property subscription (worth £150), with your account set up and loaded with real data before you leave.
Works without signal. Syncs automatically when connected. Built for remote field conditions.
UK Habitat Classification and condition scoring built into the survey workflow.
Savory Institute's 15-indicator protocol natively integrated — EHI calculated automatically.
Every survey round builds the longitudinal record that keeps your biodiversity units credible.
In active use across UK, South Africa, and Kenya. Trusted by TruQuest Savory Hub and FWAG East.
Affordable enough for any farm. Your first year is included in the Field Day price.
After a WeCology Field Day, here's exactly what you have — and what's now possible.
A documented EOV assessment using the Savory Institute's 15-indicator protocol — the same methodology used for carbon and ecosystem service verification globally.
Your habitats mapped, classified by UK Habitat Classification, scored for condition and distinctiveness — the exact data needed to register your land as a BNG gain site.
Your field data already in the platform. Offline-first, works without signal, built for 30-year monitoring. First year's subscription included.
Your Ecological Health Index score and a written summary to share with advisers, land agents, or BNG brokers when registering your land as a gain site.
Know how to register as a BNG gain site, what units are worth (£15,000–£25,000 each), and what management shifts will improve your score and your returns.
Every future GeoDataTrack survey builds the longitudinal audit trail that keeps your biodiversity units credible and your 30-year legal obligations satisfied.
