Heritage Conservancy’s Lasting Landscapes® initiative unites open space protection and historic preservation comprehensively at the "landscape level." A four-step process involving Research, Planning, Implementation, and Stewardship is used to fulfill this goal. We first identify and map significant landscapes containing a critical mass of both natural and historic resources, then develop and implement protection techniques to sustain the resources’ integrity.
Lasting Landscapes® provides a single preservation strategy that:
- combines complementary natural and historic resources
- establishes large and contiguous preserved areas
- achieves preservation objectives within an area’s cultural heritage and regional context
- involves local communities
