Paradoxes of Cultural Landscape Preservation

Our May 1 conversation with scholar Laura Alice Watt explores her book, The Paradox of Preservation: Wilderness and Working Landscapes at Point Reyes National Seashore, to understand the potentials and limits of cultural landscape concepts and applications. This case raises questions about a range of preservation, design, and policy issues actively contested in managed landscapes everywhere.
