Cultural Landscape Reports
-
A Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) documents a landscape’s historic and character-defining features, changes over time, and recommendations for long-term preservation. From historic farmland to designed gardens, a CLR helps preserve our cultural heritage. Verity possesses the skillset to produce CLR documents to National Park Service standards.

A CLR is an extensive process that includes physical documentation, historic research, and a thorough preservation plan and recommendations. Physical documentation can include plans, photographs, drone imagery, and plant type recording. In tandem with historic research, documentation of the changes over time are recorded in different formats for ease of understanding. Our research also includes finding best practices for both interpretation of the historic landscape as well as preservation techniques.
