and landsca pe stewards with a strong foundation in the evaluation and management of h istoric cultural landscapes. Go beyond the question of “what is a cultur al landscape” to explore deeper issues: How do I evaluate and define the landscape? How do I understand its layered evolution over time? And how d o I plan for its future growth and change? This series examines the proces ses used to document\, evaluate\, and manage cultural landscapes\, with a focus on practical approaches to determining significance\, guiding change \, and supporting long-term stewardship.Session one introduces core termin ology and landscape types\, outlines key approaches to documenting and ana lyzing cultural landscapes\, and addresses the challenges of defining sign ificance and evaluating integrity. Participants will learn about interdisc iplinary team roles and the research tools used to evaluate landscapes. Th e session will also cover how the National Register framework is applied t o sites that are dynamic\, layered\, and continually changing.Session two builds on this foundation with a deep dive into treatment strategies\, fro m high-level planning to site-specific design responses. Presenters will e xplain how documentation informs treatment decisions\, explore how to bala nce flexibility with client and stakeholder objectives\, and share best pr actices for collaborative planning. The session also addresses long-term m aintenance and management strategies. Real-world case studies will illustr ate the tools and techniques introduced throughout the series.SpeakersGret chen Hilyard Boyce is the founder of Groundwork Planning &\; Preservati on\, a consultancy focused on holistic planning for historic places using a cultural landscape approach.
