Dr. Jane Lennon, an international expert on cultural landscapes from Australia, will speak on the Australian heritage practice. Dr. Lennon will also reflect on what she has learned studying heritage practice in the United States and how it has been adapted over time.
Following Dr. Lennon’s talk, a discussion panel will reflect on the intersection of the themes developed in her talk and contemporary U.S. practice, including efforts to further integrate cultural landscape practice in U.S. historic preservation. The discussion will be moderated by US/ICOMOS Trustee Brenda Barrett. Discussants will include:
- Erik Hein, Executive Director, National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers
- Barbara Wyatt, ASLA, National Park Service, National Register/NHL Programs
- Jon Smith, Deputy Associate Director, National Park Service.
A reception will follow.
