Who we are
The Landscape Research Group is a global community of interest. Our staff, Board of Directors, members and partners represent a broad range of disciplines: geographers, planners, landscape architects, archaeologists and ecologists, to list but a few. This diversity is fundamental to a holistic understanding of landscape – its evolution and its future.
Membership is open to anyone who has an interest in landscape and the ways we shape, and are shaped by, the places in which we live. Read more about us.
