Description

The Land Restoration Trust will ultimately be an independent organisation, which funded through endowments, aims to restore derelict, neglected or under-used brownfield land and maintain it for people and nature in the form of publicly accessible green spaces.

The Land Restoration Trust will provide environmentally informed, community-led, long-term regeneration solutions through local partnerships.

Through its three year ‘pilot phase', the Land Restoration Trust will secure the restoration and management of some 1,500 hectares establishing partnership-working systems to enable it to expand its portfolio to 10,000 hectares by year 10 – an area the size of Coventry.

The Land Restoration Trust was created by a partnership comprising English Partnerships, Groundwork, the Forestry Commission and the Environment Agency, the Land Restoration Trust is tackling enduring dereliction across England.
