摘要

You might wonder what the National Trust for Historic Preservation is doing publishing a Forum Journal issue on land conservation topics.

But historic buildings stand in a larger context, and preservation goals are well served if we focus on protecting the settings and larger cultural landscapes as well as the structures.
