  • Growing trees on farms

    Open AccessStephen McConnachie, R Fish et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2026

    Agricultural landscapes represent critical contexts for advancing policy objectives related to tree cover expansion. This paper explores how farmers' values influence their willingness or ability to grow trees on farms. Research is based on 49 interviews and two focus groups with farmers in England and draws on two social science research traditions to devise an analytical framework based on four value orientations—instrumental, relational, expre…

  • Tree planting, natural colonisation, hybrid approaches

    Open AccessBianca Ambrose‐oji, Maddy Pearson et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2026

    There is a global drive to protect biodiversity and help combat climate change. In the UK, this is expressed in a number of policy initiatives and tools that include increasing tree cover as an important nature‐based solution to achieving national policy targets. Ambitious tree planting targets have been announced by each national government, and these will fall mostly to private landowners and managers to achieve. Although incentive schemes and …

  • Mainstreaming social sciences expertise in UK environment policy and practice organisations

    Open AccessCarol Morris, Beth Ft Brockett et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2024

    Building upon the concept of mainstreaming social sciences within conservation, we consider their mainstreaming, and so integration, within UK environment policy and practice (EPP) organisations. The paper responds to increasing calls to recognise the essential role of social sciences in addressing global environmental crises across policy, practice and research. An actor-oriented approach was deployed, producing empirical information from a mult…

  • Transformative or piecemeal? Changes in green space planning and governance in eleven European cities

    Open AccessRieke Hansen, Marleen Buizer et al.ARTICLEEuropean Planning Studies2023

    Green (and blue) spaces receive attention as important components of cities that can help to mitigate the effects of climate change, support biodiversity and improve public health. Green space planning aims to transform cities towards urban sustainability and resilience. In a longitudinal study, representatives from eleven European municipalities that had previously been interviewed in 2014 were re-interviewed in 2020–2021 on changes in urban gre…

  • A co-design framework for natural resource policy making

    Open AccessJulie Urquhart, Bianca Ambrose‐oji et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2023Cited by: 4References: 30

    Environmental and land use policy literature asserts the need for more holistic, participatory and co-designed forms of governance for the sustainable management of natural resources. Co-design is also increasingly recognised by government as a useful approach but is often applied with varying degrees of success. The purpose of this paper is to assess recent examples of policy co-design across three UK case studies focused on tree/woodland manage…

  • Beauty, friends, power, money

    Open AccessAnna Lawrence, Bianca Ambrose‐ojiARTICLEGeographical Journal2015Cited by: 6References: 25

    Community forestry in the UK has developed rapidly over the last 25 years, and the wide range of drivers has resulted in a great variety of relationships between communities and woodlands, and over 650 community woodlands. Given strong current policy interest, the study aims to assess existing evidence for the impact of these initiatives. The variety of models, evaluation purposes, and impacts requires a new approach to organising the evidence, i…

  • Exploring Local Values for Forest Biodiversity on Mount Cameroon

    Open AccessAnna Lawrence, Bianca Ambrose‐oji et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development2000

    Many decisions taken during the process of planning conservation interventions in tropical forests are influenced by scientists and politicians. Although local people may be strongly affected by these decisions, there are problems related to external professionals' understanding of how such decisions might affect the livelihoods of local residents. And despite the worldwide move towards more ‘participatory’ methods, there are still problems in fi…
