GET OUTDOORS
With over 150 sites to visit, Staffordshire has many fine examples of gardens, parklands and public parks. That reflect a wide range of styles and the changing fashions of past centuries. Some gardens are nationally famous and secure in the management of the National Trust. Other owners who are aware of their value and are able to maintain them appropriately. There remain many important historic landscapes which are at risk and vulnerable to modern pressures for change.
The Trust seeks to encourage owners to conserve and manage these landscapes and to educate the people of Staffordshire to appreciate and value their garden heritage. The Trust provides expert advice on planning consultations affecting historic parks and gardens to local authorities.
Support the work of SGPT and help keep these valuable historic gardens and parks.
