Dr Amy Binner, one of the NetZeroPlus leadership team has been awarded funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council and Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to help understand the value of our outdoor culture and heritage.
Researchers from the Land, Environment, Economics and Policy Institute (LEEP), part of the University of Exeter Business School, will lead the project working alongside co-investigators from the National Trust and Forestry England, two of the UK’s largest landholders, as well as a range of project partners including the Association of Local Government Archaeological Officers, Chartered Institute for Archaeologists, Historic England, National Trails UK,The Heritage Alliance, Lake District National Park, Natural England and South Downs National Park.
The new project, led by Amy will run for 29 months, through to January 2026. Working closely with other projects funded under the Culture and Heritage Capital Programme, the researchers will support the development of a Culture and Heritage framework for decision making by improving the understanding of the value to people provided by culture and heritage, exploring the challenges faced by land managers and contributing to a robust evidence base and best practice guidelines for incorporating culture and heritage into national accounts and management decisions.
