Founded in 1967, the LRG’s over-arching priority is to advance research that helps society to develop responses to the major changes and challenges it faces, in the interests of securing just and sustainable relationships between people and landscape. We are concerned with all types and aspects of landscape, from wilderness and cultural landscapes to the built environment. We strive to stimulate research, transfer knowledge, encourage the exchange of ideas and promote practices which engage with landscape and environment.. The range of academic disciplines we represent is very broad, including geographers, planners, landscape architects, anthropologists, archaeologists, ecologists and many others within the arts, humanities and sciences. The Group provides a nexus for discourse between disciplines, and is a conduit through which academics and practitioners can engage.
