Leighon Estate - Oxygen Conservation

Project Summary

Oxygen Conservation is a UK-based company that invests in land to protect and restore natural capital. Oxygen Conservation draws on a variety of income streams to generate a financial return, including natural capital credits (carbon, biodiversity, and water), as well as renewable energy, regenerative agriculture, ecotourism, and sustainable property development. As of December 2025, Oxygen Conservation has 12 estates in its portfolio that it manages for nature restoration.

Oxygen Conservation is managing the Leighon Estate, owned by The Dixon Foundation, to restore and protect its rare Atlantic temperate rainforest. In addition to the conservation activities at the Estate, Oxygen Conservation is appointed as a natural capital asset manager, broker, and project developer to structure the Estate’s natural capital partnerships. In 2025, Oxygen Conservation completed a deal with UK law firm Burges Salmon for the Estate’s 8,000 woodland carbon credits at £125 per tonne.
