Science - Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-)
Dutch term or phrase: groenbeheer
"Hoe wordt het huidige groenbeheer omgevormd en beheerd naar de principes van het (ecologische) harmonisch- park en groenbeheer?"

Does anyone know a suitable translation for this? Thank you.

[further context: "Het huidige groenbeheer wordt zonder visiedocument of leidraad uitgevoerd, dit is beheer- en planningtechnisch onwenselijk. Naast voorgaande feiten bestaan er ook geen gegevens over de huidige vegetatie in het domein."]

As you can see from the refs., both 'green space' and 'greenspace' are acceptable.

greenspace management


Explanation:
'Greenspace' is perhaps more US than 'green space', but there are still plenty of UK instances, including degree courses and publications. One example of a course shown in the link.
