About Us
Keystone is a consultancy-led ecological enhancement business. We create lasting benefits for biodiversity, people and places.
Our Vision is to accelerate nature recovery and reverse biodiversity decline across the UK.
Our integrated approach combines ecological and arboricultural consultancy with habitat creation, restoration and management, allowing us to deliver effective solutions for projects of all sizes. Having established a first-class reputation for enhancing ecological habitats, we specialise in conservation driven projects that focus on nature restoration and Biodiversity Net Gain at scale.
We work across a range of sectors and our focus remains the same: helping clients achieve successful outcomes while creating lasting benefits for the environment.
Origin Enterprises and Origin Environmental
In 2022, Keystone became part of Origin Enterprises plc, an international leader in sustainable land use solutions.
The acquisition has strengthened our business through investment, long-term stability and access to a wider network of expertise. Being part of Origin gives employees and clients the best of both worlds; the agility and close-knit culture of an independent consultancy, backed by the resources, opportunities and security of a successful and much larger enterprise.
Keystone forms part of the Origin Environmental Division, and we are one of seven specialist consultancies offering complementary services across the built and natural environment.
Origin Environmental operates across UK & Ireland, bringing together expertise in ecology, environmental planning, arboriculture and landscape, giving clients access to a full suite of environmental services under one umbrella.
Keystone operates independently within the group, retaining its own brand identity, leadership team, and client relationships while benefiting from shared resources and cross-selling opportunities.
At Keystone we pride ourselves on a professional family feel that attracts clients and employees alike. We share Origin’s values, People, Community, Partnerships, Integrity, and Innovation, which are reflected in all that we do and lie at the very core of our business.
