Participatory approaches and engagement of stakeholders in the design and implementation of the process were found beneficial to long-term success. Collaboration between environmental, planning and technical authorities has been crucial. In addition, the local association for water protection (VESY ry) has been an active partner in the project supporting several voluntary actions. The Uusimaa Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (UUDELY) has participated in project management and monitoring from the
beginning, providing guidance and support at the regional level. Appropriate technical expertise (e.g. sustainable landscape design and monitoring) has been secured by involving experts from the University of Helsinki, Luode Consulting Oy, UUDELY, and Water Protection Association of the River Vantaa and Helsinki Region. Finally, the Finnish
Association for Nature Conservation (SLL) has supported communication and environmental education activities.
