Abstract:

UTS School of Design researchers were approached by Central Tablelands Landcare and the Biodiversity Conservation Trust to raise awareness of biodiversity conservation among local broadacre farmers, particularly those whose lands are home to significant biodiversity assets. The research team were tasked with helping to build and strengthen relationships with landholders and community stakeholders in the Central Tablelands region and to inspire interest in, and engagement with, biodiversity conservation activities. Beyond this direction, the brief was open, giving the team the opportunity to deploy a range of design research methodologies in service of their project outputs. The work began with a series of design workshop that drew together landholders and interested community members who were part of the Central Tablelands Landcare network. The workshops produced three key findings, priority areas and resulting design principles that researchers used to guide the subsequent outputs. Drawing on research findings, the research team produced two design interventions (described in more detail below): a biodiversity guide to native grasses, and a series of designed objects depicting remarkable local species. These interventions were designed to ‘put people or a community of people at the centre of a guidebook’ by producing a tailored product that spoke to the needs, goals and practices of this particular group of landholders.
