Land in the UK is under increasing pressure. The Chairman of the National Trust launched a national debate on the importance of local green places at our 2007 AGM.

How important is it to have ‘open air living rooms’ on your doorstep, as we face new challenges in a changing world? Be part of the Trust’s national debate and tell us what you think.

Speaking out to protect green places is nothing new for the Trust. Our founders set out to protect valuable public spaces and to manage them for the benefit of everyone.
