The baseline of Preservation is having respect for what remains and breathing new life into historic resources. Preservation seeks to retain the historic character and features of landscapes and the buildings within them to mitigate negative changes and deterioration. Thus, preservation is inherently a recycling process that captures and reuses imbedded energies of place. Preservation is not a restrictive process, but requires creativity, innovation and adaptation. It places stewardship responsibility on the identification and safeguarding of historic character and fabric, while honoring what we have inherited. In applying preservation treatment to places of heritage consideration, sustainability can be incorporated. Heritage Landscapes strives to apply sustainability guidelines and principles in our project work. Aspects of sustainability we have planned for and implemented include reuse through preservation, procurement of local materials; waste water and potable water use and recycling; stormwater management, energy conservation, soil management, composting and compost use, durable native and traditional plantings, clear maintainable landscape types, low resource input and landscape impact machinery for landscape maintenance. |
