Verna

VernaEarth is a brand dedicated to supporting local government ecologists in driving better outcomes while reducing stress and gaining more control. Their flagship product, Mycelia, is a powerful tool that covers assessment, monitoring, and reporting, providing comprehensive support for Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) initiatives. Local Authorities often struggle to recruit and support enough ecologists, making the enhancement of nature a challenging task.

However, with the mandatory implementation of BNG, new opportunities arise. VernaEarth recognizes the need for better local environments and improved outcomes for citizens, as well as the revenue required to support these activities. While the workload and legal responsibilities associated with BNG can slow down the planning system, Mycelia steps in to assist Local Planning Authorities by managing every aspect of the BNG process.

Developed through collaborative research involving 40+ Local Authorities, Mycelia empowers local government ecologists to achieve better outcomes with less stress and greater control. Its features include faster assessment of planning applications, automated reporting, drag-and-drop imports of Biodiversity Metrics, error detection, and tracking of monitoring responsibilities. The Verna team, consisting of ecologists, software engineers, and policy experts, is committed to understanding the needs of local government ecologists and how their software can support the entire planning system.

They have actively sought feedback from professionals and collaborated closely to design an effective solution. VernaEarth's Mycelia brings efficiency, accuracy, and convenience to the BNG process, ensuring that local government ecologists can make a positive impact on nature and the environment.
