Planting Places supports greenspace champions with a particular focus on community-led activity. The Planting Places initiative also works at a ‘strategic’ level to promote the benefits of greenspace (and ‘green infrastructure’) as part of more sustainable ways of living and working. In short Planting Places is helping to plant the seeds of truly sustainable communities in the South West.

Greenspace is a fundamental part of our cities, towns and villages, supporting healthy lifestyles and providing valuable habitats for wildlife. Greenspace has huge potential to support solutions to big current sustainability issues like climate change (eg through lower carbon access, local food production, flooding reduction measures) and obesity (eg by increasing opportunities for recreation and play) and is key to the overall sustainability challenge of moving to a ‘one planet’ 21st century lifestyle. With growth plans set to create lots of new neighbourhoods in the South West, alongside plans to regenerate many of our existing communities, the topic of greenspace has never been hotter.
