Integrated Conservation of Natural and Historical Aspects of the Countryside
This paper makes a case for interdisciplinary integration in countryside conservation. Traditionally there has been little communication between conservators of the built and the natural heritage. Valued natural and historical features often occur together—almost the entire British countryside is a human artefact, created by millennia of agriculture. Designed landscapes are important refuges for wildlife, and built structures shelter a rich and characteristic biota.
True conflict of interest between conservation of the natural and cultural heritage is rare, but destruction can occur through a lack of awareness. Conservation legislation was partially responsible for the segregation of conservation skills, as legal protection of nature, archaeology and buildings developed separately and. in a piecemeal fashion.
It is proposed that the segregation of conservation interests has hampered the efficacy of countryside conservation. It is important that sites are evaluated far the totality of their conservation interest, and management formulated to enhance all aspects where appropriate.
The research on which this paper is based was undertaken for a Master's dissertation in Conservation Studies from the Institute of Advanced Architectural Studies, University of York.1
