Landscape design and land art are usually associated with professional activity of designers and artists. However, implementation of landscape design projects and creation of land art objects may be achieved by efforts of regular citizens. Involvement in landscape decoration activities may create high level of participant engagement. This both landscape design and land art may be used for achievement of community engagement in achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Involvement of individuals, communities and society in general may be achieved in different ways. It may happen as a part of campaigns led by the government or non-governmental organizations. The engagement may happen as a part of community interactions with designers, artists or companies that are involved in landscaping. Individuals may also be inspired by celebrities that engage in landscape design or land art activities. Moreover, individuals may contribute to larger landscape scale projects through their hobbies. Landscaping may be a part of school curriculum. Also, artists and designers may communicate important messages to trigger community engagement in solving ecological problems. All this creates unprecedented opportunities for community engagement in meaningful projects that support biodiversity and sustainable development. However, despite implementation of some noticeable projects the approach seems to be underused. The present article highlights the main opportunities and approaches to community engagement through landscape design and land art. This may help non-governmental and governmental organizations in their communication with the society. As a result, community support in achievement of sustainable development goals may be secured.
