Investing in landscapes can provide safe and accessible parks, gardens and play areas which make an invaluable contribution to the quality of life for residents as well as providing attractive neighbourhoods, enhancing biodiversity and reducing the impact of climate change. The Neighbourhoods Green Partnership is supported by the National Housing Federation and:
