The Valuing our Environment Partnership works together to reveal hard economic evidence that the environment is fundamental to prosperity in Wales. Its work over the past 10 years has been led by the National Trust Wales with core partners:

• The Countryside Council for Wales
• The Environment Agency
• The Heritage Lottery Fund
• Welsh Government - specifically Visit Wales and the Department for Business, Enterprise, Technology and Science.

In 2010 ECOTEC Research and Consulting Ltd was commissioned by the Valuing our Environment Partnership to undertake research to value the Welsh historic environment, in strict economic terms and in its wider sense of social value. The research also developed a monitoring framework that proposed a consistent methodology for ongoing data capture by partners in the sector.
