While historic preservation is at the core of what we do, our approach to this work is much broader. Our holistic strategy begins at the landscape scale, embracing not just buildings but the "spaces in between", too.

Preservation can only work for a particular group if their values, practices and heritage are being centered in the planning process. This requires historic preservationists to come alongside traditionally under-served communities and help them foreground their interests.
