ENDNOTE
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the scope of MA in landscape architecture dissertations has been reduced for the academic year 2019/2020, prohibiting research, including interviews and surveys. Informal conversations with contacts, connected to employment opportunities have revealed instances of landscape architects involved in NFM. Whilst details cannot be included in the dissertation, examples are noted here for future note or research.
Landscape architects within Groundwork have worked with landowners on river naturalisation/reconnection projects.
Landscape architects within the Environment Agency (EA) are directly engaged in NFM projects, carrying out assessments, developing strategies, managing partnerships, applying for funding and delivering projects.
The EA also engages landscape architects in private practice through various framework agreements. For instance one practice was engaged to develop interventions for the catchment surrounding Derwent Water. The landscape architects used GIS to understand the topography and walked over the site to develop an NFM interventions guide specific to the area that the EA could then use as a discussion tool with landowners.
