About Wild Plan
Wild Plan exists to help purpose-driven organisations deliver greater impact for nature. We do this by designing the systems, strategies, and tools needed to move from intention to action — and from action to measurable outcomes.
Founded in 2021 by bioscientist Lucy Gaffney, Wild Plan blends scientific rigour with practical strategy to support businesses and NGOs at different stages of their nature journey.
Whether guiding a micro business through biodiversity self-assessment, or helping a nature NGO strengthen its governance and impact, our work is rooted in trust, transparency, and meaningful change.
