Cultural Landscape Interpretation

Cultural Landscape Interpretation refers to the practice of analyzing and explaining the relationship between people and their environments over time. It involves understanding how cultural practices, values, and historical events shape landscapes—such as towns, parks, and farms. This interpretation helps us appreciate how human activity reflects and transforms the natural world, revealing stories behind various sites. By studying these connections, we gain insights into community identities, heritage, and the impact of social change on our surroundings. This approach enriches our understanding of both the land and the people who inhabit it.
