Description
Bio-Logical Capital is a land investment, development and conservation company. We deliver lasting value and strong returns by investing for the long term and integrating sustainable land-based businesses, including renewable energy, real estate and agriculture, with ecological restoration and conservation. We call this approach Stewardship Development. Our mission is to unleash the power of nature in order to enrich lives and land.
