Provision of accessible natural greenspace

A place where everyone can enjoy the green spaces on their doorstep

Black Country Living Landscape supports national targets for accessible natural greenspace - safe, well-managed, accessible and attractive places rich in wildlife that everyone can enjoy. Black Country Living Landscape will create new greenspace, improve existing sites and ensure that all this greenspace resource is accessible to everyone. It also aims to stimulate the designation and good management of Local Nature Reserves. This programme of work will be led by the Black Country local authorities as the main landowners, addressing the priority sites and actions they have already identified. Where there are spaces that are not achieving their potential for wildlife, projects to enhance their habitat value without compromising their other functions will be put in hand.
