Landscape Institute West Midlands - Landscape & Woodland Design Workshop

The morning session will summarise the UK Forestry Standard (UKFS) Landscape and Forests requirements and practice guidelines, focussing on their application through the woodland design process. Integrated design and its benefits for efficient working will be highlighted, landscape context and putting woodland design principles into practice. The session will explain the design process outputs, including landscape character appraisal, landscape context analysis, site appraisal plans and design concept plans. These are key tools for the efficient delivery of UKFS compliant woodland design and the effective engagement with stakeholders.

The afternoon will involve visiting Brandon Wood with a survey, analysis and design concept sketch exercise in groups. This will be followed by short, informal presentations and discussion.

Please come prepared for an outdoor site visit.
