The Historic Land Use Project

The Historic Land Use Project is an initiative aimed at understanding how land has been used over time in a specific area. By examining historical maps, documents, and photographs, researchers reconstruct past land uses—like agriculture, urban development, and natural habitats. This information helps us see how landscapes have changed, informing current planning and conservation efforts. It fosters a deeper appreciation of local history and guides community decisions to balance development with environmental sustainability. Ultimately, the project contributes to better land management and heritage preservation for future generations.
