Undertaken as part of the Centre for Landscape Regeneration research initiative @clr-cambridge.bsky.social, the authors map landscape regeneration and restoration initiatives across international contexts based on four themes around community organisation, land ownership, engagement and land values.
David Brown explains the ‘participatory mapping’ activity during a workshop. He stands beside a projected slide showing a map covered with colourful sticky notes and bullet points outlining the mapping process.Large printed maps spread across round tables in a workshop room.
