The Natural Environment Board is the
overarching policy and strategic body in relation to the activities
of the City Corporation’s Open Spaces Department. It is also
responsible for the day to day management of the gardens,
churchyards and green spaces in the City under the control of the
Common Council, together with Bunhill Fields Burial Ground. The
City of London protects and manages, by charitable trust, almost
11,000 acres of open space across London.
