About Us | Who we are
Cheshire Landscape Trust is a non-membership registered charity established in 1981. We work at the grassroots level with community groups, including parish and town councils, schools, Women's Institutes and other voluntary organisations to promote landscape awareness and conservation through community action such as the Cheshire Tree Warden Scheme, community planning projects, the Cheshire Orchard Project and practical projects including tree, hedgerow and orchard planting, Village Design Statements and the Cheshire Parish Tree and Hedgerow Surveys.
In partnership with Local Authorities and Parish Councils we are helping a number of parishes to produce their own Village/Town Design Statements and Parish Landscape Statements and to have them adopted as Supplementary Planning Documents. Over the years we have also worked very closely with a number of Cheshire and Warrington Local Authorities and their communities, helping them to produce Local Agenda 21 strategies and action plans. In partnership with the Cheshire Federation of Women's Institutes we have helped over 100 groups to produce Parish/Town Maps.
