historic environment

The historic environment encompasses everything around us that has been created or shaped by human activity over time, including buildings, landscapes, archaeological sites, and cultural objects. It reflects our shared history, heritage, and identity, offering insights into past ways of life, technologies, and traditions. Preserving the historic environment helps us understand where we come from and maintains the character and stories of communities for future generations. It is important for cultural continuity, education, and enriching our appreciation of the world around us.
