In April 2010 LDT gifted their magazine, Green Places, to Green Space Forum. If you are an existing subscriber you should continue to receive the magazine but if you have any problems please go to the Green Places website or contact Worldwide Subscriptions.
In the handover period the February 2010 issue was delayed and became the March 2010 issue. Unfortunately the number gremlins were at work and the March issue which should have been Issue 61 was numbered Issue 62. So if you think you are missing Issue 61, you are not – it never existed!
Apologies for the confusion and we hope you continue to enjoy reading Green Places.

The Landscape Design Trust
We promote quality of landscape through education and campaigning. We aim to influence and educate those who plan, design, build, maintain, manage and use the outdoor environment.
We are an independent organisation, registered as a charity. We do not have members or shareholders; we operate through a team of staff and volunteers.

Green Places
Green Places was launched by Landscape Design Trust in December 2003 and was quickly appreciated for its independence and wide coverage of open space issues.
The readership has grown steadily and significantly, and the magazine has became an indispensable source for a wide ranging audience including landscape architects, park and landscape managers, countryside rangers, urban designers, town centre managers, environmental campaigners and community groups. The magazine’s reporting and analysis of public realm and the wider landscape has been the setting for both our working lives and leisure hours.
Having nurtured a valued publication, Landscape Design Trust has been faced with difficult decisions with regard to the financing and resourcing of the magazine in a time of economic recession. The Trustees are therefore delighted that an agreement has been reached with the GreenSpace Forum, which from this month takes on publication of Green Places and merges it with their own magazine.
GreenSpace is an organization that shares many common values with the Trust and we are confident that the magazine will continue to grow with the benefit of an extended readership and additional interest groups.
We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the magazine over the years of the Trust’s tenure. The editorial advisory board has provided a strong steer on content and direction and there has been no shortage of high quality contributors. Thank you to our advertisers who, by buying space, were helping to support something rather special. We particularly thank our editors, who have always sought out relevant topics, kept us up to date on current issues and inspired us to try harder. Most of all we thank our loyal subscribers.
The Trustees are delighted that all this can continue under the direction of the GreenSpace Forum and we wish them well in their new role as custodian of Green Places. David Jacques, Chair, LDT
