We will restore and enhance a richer, resilient and more biodiverse environment

Our soft estate

Did you know that we're one of the country's largest landowners?

The land we manage includes 30,000 hectares of green land, our 'soft estate'.

We're commited to using this land to:

  • reconnect habitats
  • reverse the decline in biodiversity
  • help wildlife thrive
  • increase environmental resilience to a changing climate

Planning for the future

Over the next three decades, we plan to deliver a sustainable road network that protects and enhances the environment:

  • mitigating the impact of England’s busiest roads
  • ensure that our land can be a force for good for generations to come

Our recently published Environmental Sustainability Strategy sets out our vision of a connected country and a thriving environment.
