Philosophy of Landscape

These three more reflective pieces ask how landscapes are understood, valued and cared for. Drawing on my 17 years in academic philosophy, and my (overlapping) 15 years in conservation practice, they explore landscape as something shaped not only by geology and land use, but by memory, meaning, narrative and attention. They consider how stories influence what is protected or neglected, how past and future are held together in place, and how ways of thinking about landscape shape practical decisions on the ground.
