CULTURE AND LANDLITERACY: WATCHING A PLACE: A Logging Coupe 10 years on

WELCOME

‘Landliteracy’ succinctly describes the ability to read the land. Clearly, if more people could detect the early signs of land degradation this would foster more affective holistic approaches to designing landliteracy strategies in both urban and rural areas. Also, social and political responses to land custodianship would be enhanced if there were a higher level of landliteracy – particularly in urban areas.

Landliteracy can be understood as one's ability to read and appreciate the signs of health in a landscape and by implication, this definition also implies the ability to read the signs of ill-health in a landscape. Being 'land literate' is a reason for including ‘art’ in the 'landliteracy equation'. If you have anything to add please join the conversation.
