Owen Hayman, who works for The Green Estate Community Interest Company in Sheffield, works to maintain some of the planting at part of the Grey to Green development in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, UK. The Grey to Green development, which was planted and is maintained by The Green Estate, has created a network of new paths and cycleways and transformed an area that was previously tarmac into a green public space. It is the UK’s largest retrofit sustainable urban draining scheme (SuDs), with the planting beds taking rain and surface water back into Sheffields rivers. The beds also capture and collect pollutants including from car tyres, road wear, oils and other sources and stop them from entering the watercourses. The planting contributes to biodiversity in the area, giving space for nature and increased tree planting helps with urban cooling in hot weather.
