Promoting Landscape Ecology in the UK since 1992
Our organisation
History
Landscape Ecology UK is the UK Regional Chapter of the International Association for Landscape Ecology. With the aim of promoting landscape ecology, we were founded on 22 September 1992 at a meeting at Nottingham University entitled, Landscape Ecology in Britain.
Aims
We aim to promote interest, learning and understanding of landscape ecology and to promote inter-disciplinary research across the many fields in landscape ecology. We encourage communication between scientists, policy makers, planners and practitioners concerned with landscape ecology.
Vision
We wish to see: research in the UK furthers knowledge of landscape ecology; that legislation, policies, regulations, incentives and best practice are informed by landscape ecology; that those protecting, planning, or managing land, water or associated ecosystem goods and services share a clear understanding of landscape ecology.
Committee
Landscape Ecology UK is led by an enthusiastic committee of volunteers who share responsibilities for achieving our aims. The committee prides itself on its open and inclusive culture, representation from research and practice, and full participation of landscape ecologists in all career stages.
Early Career
Landscape Ecology UK promotes a friendly forum for all students and early-career members (within 5 years of their last degree) to share ideas, discuss issues and meet like-minded people, including providing support to attend in-person events.
Join Us
Join Landscape Ecology UK to connect with landscape ecologists from around the world and stay in touch with the latest news from the discipline. Our members have a wide range of interests in landscape and seascape and include people working in research, policy and practice.
Our discipline
Landscape ecology is the study of interactions, across space and time, between the structure and function of physical, biological and cultural components of landscapes; marine, freshwater, and on land.
