Respondent: The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country

A paragraph should be added that describes the natural landscape of the Black Country.
The Black Country Spatial Portrait recognises the significant influence that industrial heritage has on today’s physical environment but not the geological resources that shaped that industry and the pattern of settlement it left behind.
WTBBC welcomes the reference to the influence of the natural environment on health and wellbeing, however, the richness and value of the existing natural environment of the Black Country should be both described and celebrated in a standalone natural environment paragraph.
