Voices of the future: Collaborating with children and young people to re-imagine treescapes

树形逃生的未来属于儿童和年轻人。然而，缺乏跨学科的研究来探索他们随着时间的推移与树突逃脱的接触。该项目旨在与自然英格兰、森林研究、社区森林和苏格兰利益攸关方等当地和国家合作伙伴合作，重新设想未来与儿童和年轻人一起进行的森林逃生。我们将找出实现这一目标的机会和障碍，并试行以儿童和青少年为重点的创新途径。我们将编制课程材料，在我们的项目合作伙伴幼儿户外和特许教师学院的支持下分发。该项目的目的是将儿童和年轻人的知识、经验和希望与树木如何适应和缓解气候变化的科学知识结合起来，以便共同制定新的方法来创建和照顾有益于环境和社会的弹性树木逃生。利用跨学科的方法，并与利益相关者合作，该团队将制作一部捕捉儿童和年轻人生态身份的“经验词典”。对激进主义和逃生领域现有活动的审计，特别是对边缘化群体的审计，将为该项目提供信息。特别是，该项目将产生新的材料，供从业人员、教育工作者和政策制定者使用，为未来的树木种植提供信息，并将在我们的项目合作伙伴的帮助下在全国推广。用来评估树木和土壤中碳储量的新方法将成为一个“树木配对”项目的灵感来源，该项目旨在让儿童和年轻人认识到他们与树木逃逸之间的关系。儿童和年轻人将利用科学工作和他们的生活经验来平衡他们不断变化的碳足迹和他们合作伙伴不断变化的踩踏逃生。在社区森林和地方当局的帮助下，将种植新的树木逃生植物。学习将通过嵌入该项目的树木结对科学项目来加强，以促进关于气候科学和城市树木之间关系的知识。这项研究将与儿童和年轻人作为联合研究人员进行。该项目将把希望作为未来规划的重要组成部分，并从哲学和实践上创建一套展望未来的行动，同时解决暂时性问题，包括过去关于树木的档案工作。它将与早年的年轻人、小学、中学和失学的年轻人以及家庭和社区合作，思考和参与特技逃生，规划和种植新的特技逃生，并参与特技逃生思维和课程改革。将与自然英格兰作为项目合作伙伴合作，开发一个工具包来指导这项工作，并将在全国范围内推出一套资源和产出，以激励和告知下一代儿童和年轻人参与树形逃生，这将重新塑造树形逃生研究的学科格局，并为政策和实践提供信息。社区森林规划者、政策制定者和实践者将更好地了解如何让儿童和年轻人参与树木逃生，以及如何利用他们的知识来激励和告知后代。艺术和人文科学、环境科学和社会科学的创新方法将产生一种新的理解，即结合各学科如何进一步逃避儿童和年轻人的研究。该项目还将促进对儿童与青年之间关系的方法论理解，并在进行环境科学研究的同时，侧重于联合制作和关注生活经验。环境和社会科学领域的新知识将创造新的学科范式和概念。

The future of treescapes belongs to children and young people. Yet there is a lack of interdisciplinary research that explores their engagement with treescapes over time. This project aims to re-imagine future treescapes with children and young people, working with local and national partners including Natural England, Forest Research and the Community Forests and Scottish stakeholders. We will identify opportunities and barriers to treescape expansion and pilot innovative child and youth-focused pathways to realising this goal. We will create curricula material which will be disseminated with the support of our project partners, Early Childhood Outdoors and the Chartered College of Teachers.The aim of this project is to integrate children and young people's knowledge, experiences, and hopes with scientific knowledge of how trees adapt to and mitigate climate change in order to co-produce new approaches to creating and caring for resilient treescapes that benefit the environment and society. Drawing on interdisciplinary approaches and in collaboration with stakeholders, the team will produce a 'lexicon of experience' that captures the ecological identities of children and young people. An audit of existing activity in the field of activism and treescapes, with a particular focus on marginalised groups, will inform the project. In particular, the project will produce new material for use by practitioners, educators and policy makers that will inform future treescape planting and will be rolled out nationally, with the help of our project partners. Novel methods for assessing carbon storage in trees and soil will inform a 'tree-twinning' project to enable children and young people to recognise how they can relate to treescapes. Children and young people will draw on the scientific work together with their lived experience to balance their evolving carbon footprint with the changing treescapes they have partnered with. New treescapes will be planted with the help of Community Forests and local authorities. Learning will be enhanced by the scientific project on tree-twinning, embedded within the project, to advance knowledge about the relationship between climate science and urban trees. This research will be carried out with children and young people as co-researchers. The project will focus on hope as a vital ingredient of future planning and philosophically and practically create a set of actions to look to the future while addressing temporalities, including past archival work on trees. It will work with cohorts of young people across early years, primary, secondary and young people out of school, as well as families and communities, to think about and engage with treescapes, to plan as well as plant new treescapes and to engage in treescape thinking and curricula innovation. Working with Natural England as project partners, a toolkit will be developed to guide this work and a set of resources and outputs to be rolled out nationally that inspire and inform future generations of children and young people to become involved in treescapes, which will re-shape the disciplinary landscape of treescapes research and inform policy and practice. Community forest planners, policy-makers and practitioners will better understand how to engage children and young people in treescapes and how to work with their knowledges to inspire and inform future generations. Innovative approaches to arts and humanities, environmental science and social science will produce a new understanding of how combining disciplines can further treescape research with children and young people. The project will also advance methodological understandings of the relationship between children and young people and treescapes with a focus on co-production and attending to lived experience while conducting environmental scientific research. New knowledge in the fields of environmental and social science will create new disciplinary paradigms and concepts.
