       Awards
































                           It’s fantastic to receive recognition for the work that we do. Over the last year our
                           staff, partners and dedicated volunteers have worked incredibly hard to ensure we
                           deliver well managed, sustainable green space that benefit our communities.

                           We were delighted that Elba Park, Greenwich Ecology Park, Silverdale Country Park,
                           Beam Parklands and the Countess of Chester Country Park all retained their Green
                           Flag status. Elba Park retains its status for a ninth year in succession, while Silverdale
                           Country Park keeps its Green Flag for a fifth year in a row.

                           The prestigious award recognises excellent management of green spaces. Green
                           Flag spaces must feel welcoming and cared for, be well maintained and clean and
                           encourage users to enjoy health activities. The sites must be managed in a way that
                           has a positive impact on the environment, both locally and globally and should aim
                           to enhance biodiversity. Finally it recognises how green spaces bring people together
                           and meet the needs of the community they serve, which is exactly what the Land Trust
                           is about.

                           The Land Trust enjoyed success at the 2020 RESI Awards, with the charity picking up
                           Highly Commended in the Eco Initiative of the Year category.
