"Stewardship Strategies for Cultural and Natural Resources"
June 4-9 at the University of Victoria, Victoria, B.C. Canada
Increasing threats to cultural and natural resources have given rise to
innovative tools and strategies to ensure preservation in the context of
sustainable management frameworks. While the cultural and environmental
preservation movements have tended to work in isolation from one another,
there is much to be learned by comparing experience and recognizing
opportunities for collaboration.
This new course explores common and divergent characteristics of cultural
and natural stewardship and addresses ways in which a range of legal,
planning, and management tools can be used to preserve resources. Whether
your work with natural or cultural resources--or both--this course develops
your understanding of:
* concepts and obligations of stewardship and public trust
* the evolution and convergence of environmental and cultural preservation
activities
* synergy and issues resulting from the integration of cultural and
environmental preservation initiatives
* evaluation of significance of resources in the context of community
values, issues, and perspectives
* research, analysis, and information management for preservation
decision-making
* legal frameworks for stewardship, including easements, covenants, gifts,
bequests, land acquisition, property and estate tax incentives
* management frameworks for stewardship, including land trusts,
co-management agreements, and community partnerships
* implementation challenges, including public involvement, fund raising,
sustainability, interpretation and public education, property management,
monitoring and maintenance
