GreenArc is pursuing a two-pronged strategy:
a. To create an enhanced multi-functional, landscape-scale environment
b. To enable the public to be comfortable with the countryside and readily enjoy it
To ensure momentum is maintained both initiatives are underway with two sub-groups, namely Implementation (responsible for a.) and Communities and Communication (responsible for b.), with a third providing the vital funding stream for their activities by tapping into local, regional, national and European sources.
Steering Group membership includes:
City of London, Essex County Council, the Forestry Commission, the Greater London Authority, Hertfordshire County Council, Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust, Lee Valley Regional Park, London Parks & Greenspaces, Natural England, Thames Chase Community Forest, Thames Gateway London Partnership and the Woodland Trust.
