Approaches

This body of research asks three questions through three different approaches:

CIVIC APPROACH

Asks: How can Landscape Architects find a mediating role in Victoria’s forest wars?

CITIZEN SCIENCE APPROACH

Asks: How can Landscape Architects work within the law to support the aims of environmental activists?

SILVICULTURE APPROACH

Asks: What can Landscape Architects do to exert more influence in the ongoing extractive economy, not only in post-industrial spaces?

Each approach is tested in a site in Victoria’s Central Highlands region.
