How to contact our team
Our landscape team, project officers and other members of staff work with people to create or improve community gardens, parks, play areas, footpaths, school grounds, bonfire sites, communal areas and natural spaces. These spaces are vital to our everyday quality of life, but are often neglected and attract crime. They need to be well designed, made relevant to the needs of local people – and be beautiful havens for wildlife. We are also helping to create activities to put land back to use, for example developing food growing projects and training.
