In this episode, Alan Carter, Chief Executive, and Joe Heath, Head of Environment and Biodiversity at The Land Trust, join host Lizzie Collin to discuss their vision for enhancing people's lives through the development and management of sustainable, high-quality green spaces. As a charitable organisation dedicated to the sustainable management of open areas for communal benefit, The Land Trust oversees more than 80 sites encompassing 2,900 hectares of land nationwide. This diverse portfolio includes amenity spaces, nature reserves, SANG (Suitable Alternative Natural Green Space), and scheduled ancient monuments. Alan and Joe explore the significance of green spaces in urban planning and share insights from The Land Trust's recent report, "Delivering Mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain."
