The Land Trust Annual Review 2021
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.
