Measuring our impact - the added value of the Land Trust Land Trust Annual Review 2018

The Land
Trust added

to our portfolio
last year

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
