Managing the Historic Environment Case Study

Managing the Historic Environment Case Study

These case studies highlight examples of best practice conservation management over a wide range of archaeological sites and historic landscapes and showcase the potential that the historic environment can play within Forest Plans.

The forests and woodlands of Scotland include an historic environment which needs to be understood and protected for the benefit of all. To meet this objective, the new UK Forestry Standard (UKFS) and associated Forests and Historic Environment Guidelines (2011) promote the recognition of the historic environment and encourage its protection during forestry operations.
