Use this page to learn about the Landscape City progamme.
The Landscape City programme is focused on delivering a range of green infrastructure projects in Bath to support nature recovery, improve health and wellbeing, and climate resilience.
We have secured funding from the West of England Combined Authority’s Green Recovery Fund to provide evidence for investment in greening of the city and the delivery of projects on key council owned sites.
The programme builds on the work of the Bathscape Landscape Partnership programme, which is enhancing the heritage, landscape and wildlife value of the setting of the City of Bath World Heritage Site.
Programme aims
Working with the Bathscape Board we will:
- establish a woodland recovery project to address Ash Dieback on the hillsides and skyline around Bath and bring woodlands into active management
- work with communities to improve sites that are important for wildlife and create new local nature reserves for nature conservation and quiet enjoyment
- progress the development of masterplans for key sites that the council owns, including the former golf course at Entry Hill
- scope and develop proposals for an ‘Ecology Hub’ providing for innovative nature-based learning and knowledge sharing, volunteering, and landscape / nature city outreach work
- map and understand the range of ecosystem services provided by Bath’s landscape, to ensure that we value and protect our natural assets and target resources effectively to maximise these benefits
