Fifty years of Landscape Research Group
The charity Landscape Research Group (LRG) was founded in 1967. This paper of record sets out some key points in the Group’s history, with a critical review of its achievements nationally and internationally in landscape research and an analysis of key issues for the future. It discusses the origins, objectives and approach of the Group. It then considers how the Group delivers its business, considering in turn the governance arrangements of the Executive Committee/Board and related matters such as structures and officers. The paper then addresses how well LRG has delivered its objectives of being a multi- and inter-disciplinary and an international organisation; advancing education, encouraging interest and exchanging information about landscape; and advancing landscape research. It considers key activities including Landscape Research, events, Landscape Research Extra, international activity, the website and e-communications, the Student Dissertation Prize Scheme, the ‘Nature-Experience Research Programme’ and the ‘People, Nature and Landscape Research Review’, Project HERCULES, and the LRG Research Strategy and its supporting grant scheme. The paper then considers various aspects of the Group’s resources. Finally it critically assesses LRG’s achievements, and discusses the issues it faces in the future.
