Maintain to Sustain
Abstract Landscapes are living things. In one important sense, they are never finished. Growth, natural succession, weathering, change of use or ownership or neighbors—all keep landscapes evolving. Except in successfully restored native landscapes, the best of which maintain themselves (though not in a steady state), maintenance is not optional. Maintenance is the way an evolving landscape keeps pace with evolving human demands.
