Some projects and trails are created by volunteers working together, others are placed in the hands of organisations where members work together
Working with groups vs individuals
Scientist as conductor drawing
Drawing of a classic way to see science, as the knowing expert with the overview and plan, creating knowledge and understanding is maybe a bit like the conductor creates music experiences together with musicians
Science jam session
Science is often seen as a top down lecture activity, but hiking together and debating, seeing and meeting different point of views around a campfire is a better way to innovate
Connecting to Citizen Science projects
The amount of citizen science projects that hikers and walkers can connect to and help in are growing
Science, citizen and planet mindset
New knowledge focus on how there are huge differences between how scientists, engaged citizens and maybe even the planet thinks
Walkers and volunteers collecting water samples
Walking along the coastline can be combined with collecting important data and samples and sharing it with scientists
Citizen science insect projects
Cars driving around with huge nets on their roofs help document and collect new knowledge about local insects
Whale watching while hiking
Hikers walking coast trails can sometimes not only see whales but also help science, by documenting where they see them
Building global networks of knowledge
We live in a special time where it is possible, using technology, to build new collective landscapes of understanding
From sad smiley to engagement
Using new technology hikers can move from not only being concerned about the environment to actually help innovate new solutions and knowledge of how our planet is doing
Helping farmers help the environment
Hikers can help support and document ways and knowledge of how farmers can help the environment
hikers helping reforestation
Hikers can help document deforestation and planting new trees and forests
Cityzen Science
Can we design places along the trails that are more open and better support innovation, debate and science
Scientist island
Drawing of a scientist alone on his island being towed to a better place to re-connect with others
Talking to the press
Drawing up how more and more hiking projects also becomes media projects - getting funding, making videos and sharing updates to get funding or attention
Motivation gap
Drawing up the gap between and factors influencing what we want to do, and if we actually make the jump and walk the talk
The science angler
Heading out in the landscapes to catch facts and do research
Search chain vs line
Two very different ways of moving through a landscape and strategies to gain new understandings
Five reasons dedicated hiking trails works best
Walkers most often loose, when trails can be used for anything but walking
Trails to help biodiversity
Hikers like to be close to wildlife and walking through landscapes where nature is set free. But it can be a challenge to balance the needs of nature, of habitats and of hikers.
When biodiversity and trails face each other
Hikers like to be close to wildlife and walking through landscapes where nature is set free. But it can be a challenge to balance the needs of nature, of habitats and of hikers.
Timber used to make steps sketch
Research sketch - understanding a simple way to use tree trunks to make steps along trails
Stairways design study
When trails starts to rise or fall, at a certain angle stairs are one way of making the trails continue when the terrain gets steeper
Psychology and ways of crossing a stream
Hiking can teach us new things about our strategies, roles and preferences.
Wood bridge feel
Bridges can be made in many ways, from the most flimsy to the solid almost ever lasting bridge designs
Teaching kids outdoors
Teaching kids outdoors helps them understand, move and be more happy. Connecting to nature, instead of screens.
Cars and the paradox of horrible weather
What can seem like the solution is sometimes the challenge...
