Natural Estates
Training Programme Natural Estates is a partnership programme which aims to create real change in the way housing green spaces are managed; transforming residents’ appreciation and involvement. This training programme runs throughout 2012 and aims to support the housing partners involved to build the capacity and skills of staff. This will enable them to better manage their green spaces for the benefit of people and wildlife. The training programme has been developed following a skills needs analysis undertaken with representatives from each of the partner organisations. It offers a comprehensive package of modules in the design, management and maintenance of green space.
Green spaces are at the heart of wider social, economic and environmental regeneration. The Natural Estates Training Programme will support our staff; equipping them with the skills, knowledge and resources to manage our valuable green space assets for the benefit of our customers, the natural environment and our bottom line.
