Cultural Resource Management (CRM)

Cultural Resource Management (CRM) is the process of identifying, evaluating, and protecting cultural heritage sites and artifacts before construction or development projects begin. It ensures that important historical, archaeological, or cultural features are preserved or documented, balancing development needs with the responsibility to safeguard our shared history. CRM involves specialists conducting surveys, assessments, and sometimes excavations to prevent damage or loss of valuable cultural resources, complying with legal and ethical standards. This approach promotes responsible development while respecting and conserving our cultural legacy for future generations.
