Co-producing the treescapes of the future with children

Co-production is much more than consulting with children and young people. It means being guided by their perspectives and voices to imagine and plan a future they want to live in. This policy note explores how co-production approaches can yield far richer and more useful insight within environmental policy-making and planning. The University of Cumbria's Institute of Science and Environment’s policy briefings provide an evidence base for policy makers and are developed from our research and expertise including UK land protection and conservation, disaster risk reduction, international conservation and marine mammal acoustics.
