This free event will explore how interest groups, including local communities, can collaboratively monitor and manage landscape change. Speakers will cover the development of local landscape quality objectives; scoping out change issues, and various tools and data that can be practically and locally applied. Tools include fixed point photography and mobile phone app FieldTripGB as well as Ordnance Survey and UK government information. A guided walk through the ancient woods and suburbs of Ruislip will illustrate change and continuity in the landscape over time, prompting discussion about the realities of managing and monitoring change at local scales.Confirmed speakers from Campaign for the Protection of Rural England (CPRE), Ordnance Survey, South Downs National Park Authority, Natural England and South Devon AONB. The guided walk will be led by respected local historians.
The target audience for this event includes professionals and volunteers working to maintain and enhance landscape character in their local and regional areas, such as landscape architects, strategic planners, project officers for strategic landscape-scale countryside projects, development control officers, landowners/staff of large estates, parish councils and local resident/friends groups.
