We have started the Greenkeeper project with Vivid Economics to develop a natural capital approach to accounts.  This will enable us to express the value of ecosystem services that our parks offer in physical and monetary terms. We expect to have a draft report by the end of the year. 

The image below shows some examples of the monetary values that could be placed on services provided to us by parks and greenspace. Plymouth's greenspace will be analysed using multiple data sets, local and national, to ensure the most accurate values.
