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.

The Vision

The Land Restoration Trust is improving the environment and quality of life for communities by providing long-term sustainable management of public spaces across England.

Within 10 years we will acquire, own and manage 10,000 hectares of previously derelict and under-used land, to deliver environmentally informed, community-led regeneration.
