Managing Green Spaces
Oxford Preservation Trust has stewardship of almost 1000 acres of green space in and around the city of Oxford. They were acquired – some nearly a century ago – to protect the city’s green setting and historic views by preventing development. Over a period of time, certain questions around green spaces and their sustainable management have changed, reflecting the concerns of the day. The pandemic brought a need for and appreciation of green spaces into sharp focus, as has climate change and changing public perceptions. This talk will consider some of these different priorities and a balance of approaches for managing green spaces today.
