The Institute for Cultural Landscape Studies at Harvard University defines a "cultural landscape" as a way of seeing landscapes that emphasizes the interaction between human beings and nature over time.
  
The National Park Service and the National Register of Historic Places refer to the 1996 Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for the Treatment of Cultural Landscapes as: "a geographic area (including both cultural and natural resources and the wildlife or domestic animals therein), associated with a historic event, activity, or person or exhibiting other cultural or aesthetic values."
  
SAGE offers a limitless amount of opportunities to help you explore and manage your cultural resources with a creative approach, while maintaining a sensitivity to the surrounding environment. We can help you avoid potential pitfalls and highlight your project's unique character, by planning for positive changes that help promote interactions between people and the land.
