Our projects

The Landscape Decisions Programme is a network of 63 interrelated research projects with teams working across multiple disciplines in institutions across the UK.

All the teams share the goal of delivering better, evidence-based decisions within UK landscapes through research collaboration with policy, business, and land management partners to work towards a decision-making framework that will inform how land is used.

Locations Overview

A quick overview of where our project PI’s are based. Wider Project teams are based in many other locations and may be working locally regionally or nationally.

See our individual project pages for more details.
