The Walking the Landscape process takes its name from the facilitated workshop process, which brings experts together to systematically ‘walk the landscape’ of an area, resulting in a whole-of-system understanding and collective, targeted solutions to issues.
Walking the Landscape incorporates existing data with diverse knowledge on landscape components and processes, both natural and human, using water flows as the focus. This data is then presented in a simple, accessible format with interactive mapping systems for spatial analysis.
The end result is a whole-of-landscape understanding of the catchment, which is widely accessible, allowing for improved NRM decision making.
Walking the Landscape: Wet Tropics
The Walking the Landscape process has been completed for a range of Wet Tropics catchments.
