Alan Carter

Alan Carter is Chief Executive at the Land Trust, the UK’s premier green space management organisation.

Alan previously held the position of Director of Operations at The Land Trust. Prior to joining The Land Trust, Alan, who is a qualified Chartered Surveyor, spent 13 years at British Waterways (now the Canal and River Trust). Alan is passionate about using green, blue and grey infrastructure to deliver significant charitable outcomes and social value for the local communities who live and work around the sites The Land Trust manages, whilst also delivering quality outcomes for an increasing array of clients. He speaks regularly at various property and sustainability conferences.

As someone who has developed partial deafness during the last ten years, Alan puts great emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion both within the organisation and through the work that it delivers. Understanding the needs of the local communities which the Land Trust serves is key to ensuring an inclusive approach, and in turn working to remove mental and physical barriers to accessing and enjoying the benefits of green spaces.
