GREEN CITY & OUR LIVING SPACE

Plants and green space enhance our properties as well as our quality of life

The benefits are far reaching - green space and trees play an essential role in preventing flooding and can aid in offsetting carbon emissions

There's proof too to show that green and pleasant surroundings reduce anti-social behaviour and increase liveability

Participation in developing the green space around our homes can bring community cohesion

Plus trees and planted areas around properties create all important kerb appeal and can directly impact on property value

Get more from your living space - work with your local community to make the most of where you live. Schemes such as 'Britain in Bloom' (click for Links page) are tailor-made to help you succeed

Go on - be a catalyst for local change
