The purpose of this class is to provide an introduction on where historic preservation and environmental conservation overlap in practice and theory. Topics include sustainability, preservation and environmental planning, rural preservation, easements and transfer of development rights, Smart Growth, adaptive reuse, green building, heritage eco-tourism, historic places and global climate change, and interior environmental health. My objective is to acquaint the historic preservationist with environmental conservation and the environmental conservationist with historic preservation; however, those who do not claim to be students in either one of these subjects will also find this class interesting.
