                                                              to our portfolio

         The long term success of our spaces is
         important to the reputation of the Land Trust,
         our managing partners and the developers
         and land owners we work with.

         We believe that our role goes beyond simply
         managing green space but about creating
         communities and places where people want to
         live, work and play.
         Working with AMION Consulting, we have
         developed a Social Value Model that allows
         us to measure our impact, by assessing the
         benefits of our green space management
         against our five key charitable objectives of:

             Environment and biodiversity
             Health and well-being
             Education and learning
             Economic vitality
             Community cohesion and volunteering
         The model provides evidence-based,
         measurable indicators of the benefits of well
         managed green space for communities.
         Contributions to this overall economic value
         come from:

             Reduced energy consumptions
             Reduced carbon emissions
             Carbon storage
             Health care cost savings
             Health and well-being value
             Educational engagement
             Land management and use
             Tourism
             Volunteering
             Community engagement
