Abstract

Covid-19 placed major constraints on the lives of people in the UK. As a consequence of national lock-downs parks, green and blue spaces, and the countryside - named here as green infrastructure - became some of the few places open for the public to use. Throughout the lock-downs in the UK green infrastructure patronage increased. This paper reflects on whether this additional use has continued "post-Covid", whether government has continued to support local government to deliver nature, and if UK policy developments are aiding this
