Across the UK, the Land Trust owns and
manages over 2,300 hectares of land
across 63 sites, giving people, nature
and society the long term benefits of
well maintained green spaces.
We work with a wide range of public and private landholders, including
estate managers, housing developers, landfill operators, local authorities
and mining companies, helping them to identify sustainable solutions for
public open spaces. We then work with local communities to maintain
and enhance the space whilst delivering charitable benefits to health,
education, the economy and the environment.
