My research interests include natural resources policy and planning and participatory and collaborative research methods in forest ecology, agroforestry and landscape ecology. Research projects have focused on sustainable and resilient land use at the landscape scale; ecosystem services provided by forest garden systems, and effects of the 2005 Indian Ocean tsunami in Sri Lanka; and on collaborative planning and research for public land management and community based resource management in the Pacific Northwest, including use of GIS technology for monitoring of impacts of forest resource use, non-timber forest product harvesting, community based fire management and watershed management in the Henry's Fork , Idaho. I seek to understand how the knowledge and experience of local people can be included in planning for conservation at the landscape scale. I am currently interested in comparing approaches to landcare in Australia, the US, Sri Lanka and Germany.
