How can more landscape architects learn the preservation skills to uphold the character and experience of cultural landscapes while improving accessibility? In this free, online presentation, experts will share successful methods used in projects that bridge the gap between historic preservation and accessibility; case studies from National Parks and Olmsted-designed landscapes will be explored.
