Landscape Reconstruction: Lessons in Applied Ethnoecological Research

Researching the cultural landscape of the University of Victoria, from meadow to totem pole, from farm to campus. We are applying the tools of ethnoecology to offer a meaningful description of the interrelationships between people and place. 

We have all accepted three key challenges:
1. Use multidisciplinary and integrative research to unveil and describe the layers of 'connectedness' between human societies and landscapes.
2. Don't give in to the allure of easy black and white answers, and 'sieze the grey,' the complex and often confusing suite of interrelationships among people and place.
3. Reach beyond the doom and gloom of current environmental issues and discover how people can 'dwell', and have dwelled for generations, within local landscapes in engaging and positive ways.
