The Landscape
Research Group is concerned with all types and aspects of landscape,
from wilderness to cities. It is a voluntary, charitable association,
based in Britain but with a world-wide membership. Its purpose
is to encourage the exchange of ideas and to promote research
and practices that engage landscape and environment. It does this by sponsoring public programmes and conferences. As well as through the publication of the Routledge Journal Landscape Research and the Newsletter Landscape
Research Extra.
 The Landscape Research Group address a wide variety of interests, disciplines
and professions.Whatever
your involvement with landscape - as an agriculturist, artist, botanist, conservationist, cultural historian, environmental philosopher, geographer, hiker, landscape architect, landscape ecologist, open space activist, land planner, tree hugger, urban gardener or wetland expert... or simply as someone who cares seriously
about our natural surroundings -
why not become a member of the Landscape Research Group?
