About
Kew REACH scales and commercialises research in biodiversity, plant and fungal science to address climate change and biodiversity loss, powered by Kew’s cutting-edge science and knowhow (the ‘Kew Method’).
Services
Kew Reach offers full service, end-to-end advisory, from baselining and planning of habitats, implementation and measurement, to monitoring and calibration. It also provides support on supply-chain development for projects (e.g. seed collection and seed banking) through to capability building (e.g. training and mentorship of local communities).
Kew REACH works with major corporates, governments, landowners, and commercial agricultural and forestry owners and operators to create positive environmental impact.
We advise stakeholders and clients on how to improve or create outstanding natural habitats in commercial agriculture, forestry, real estate, and natural landscapes with science-led, high-credibility solutions.
Powered by Kew Science, we provide scientific knowhow, transparency, data and accountability, ensuring scientific rigour and data are at the heart of any projects we advise.
