The Landscape Foundation Trustees are seeking Expressions for new Trustees. In January 2021 a resolution was passed to increase the number of Trustees from five to eight. This decision is based on our ambitions around the following items: 

• Increased opportunity to influence Landscape Thinking, Shape Policy, Systems, and  Processes which impact landscape(s)
• Building on key areas of interest such as a place-based approach and regional work, cultural landscape, urbanism, catchments and landscape management, biodiversity, climate change and adaptation, and iwi/Māori ways of understanding landscape 
• Continual development of our Knowledge Hub and Research Strategy
• Succession and continuity of the Trustees to ensure the role of the Trust, its functions and purpose continue
• Governance structure for the Trust and it’s wide advocacy, publications, outreach and funding pathways

Please consider if you would be interested in joining our great Trustees, support team, patron and ambassadors. 

The Landscape Foundation aims to draw attention to landscape change. We also aim to explore options for managing our landscape using the very best techniques and knowledge.

The NZILA Education Foundation was registered by the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects in 1999 as a charitable trust. In 2015 the NZILA Education Foundation was renamed the Landscape Foundation.
