A collaborative project between Forest Research and the University of Surrey has been looking to tackle the issues associated with the process of brownfield regeneration to greenspace. The research has used case studies and qualitative data to identify and map out the main stages in the process. A model of the brownfield to greenspace regeneration process has been produced, with the aim of increasing the efficiency of brownfield greening and the sustainability of new greenspace. The model should assist practitioners new to brownfield greening as well as promote best practice in organisations alive in regeneration. The next stage in the project will investigate what types of information practitioners prefer when they are using best practice and guidance such as our greening model. As part of this process, Forest Research is keen to hear from those involved in regeneration, the resources they use and when they use them.
