Knowledge That Lives explores ecological knowledge not as a collection of facts, but as something embodied, relational and sustained through practice. The project asks: what happens to ecological knowledge when it is separated from the practices that sustain it?

The project brings together four audiences. For practitioners and knowledge holders, it provides a space to share, preserve and critically examine their knowledge on their own terms. For researchers and universities, it offers grounded case studies and new ways of thinking about Traditional Ecological Knowledge as lived practice rather than information to be extracted. For educators and organisations, it creates stories, films and approaches that can support more place-responsive learning. For the wider public, it reveals the ecological knowledge embedded in everyday skills, crafts and relationships with landscape, encouraging deeper curiosity about the places they inhabit.

Exploring tracking, fire, plants, trees, food, weather, craft and other practices, the project follows knowledge into the relationships that sustain it.

Through conversations, essays and case studies, Knowledge That Lives asks how ecological knowledge can be shared without separating it from practice, place, responsibility and culture.
