Outdoor recreation is under growing pressure. More people are seeking the benefits of time outdoors, while landscapes, habitats, land managers and local communities are increasingly having to respond to complex and sometimes competing demands.

For the outdoor recreation sector, the challenge is no longer simply to encourage responsible behaviour. It is to understand what is really happening in our places, why people behave as they do, where pressures are emerging, and how we design practical, inclusive and effective responses.

This two-day ORN Masterclass will move beyond responsible recreation as a concept and focus on what it looks like in practice.

Structured around a highly interactive “Bring Your Challenge” approach, the event will take participants through a practical journey from understanding environments, people and pressures, through to designing interventions, influencing behaviour and delivering action on the ground.
