FOREWORD

In response to an overwhelming interest in the first printing of the Guide to Developing a Preser-
vation Maintenance Plan for a Historic Landscape the Olmsted Center for Landscape Preservation
has prepared this second edition to help meet the needs of the preservation community.

Since the release of the first edition in 1995, the principles and practices of maintaining
historic landscapes have continued to be developed and refined. The revisions and additions
to this edition reflect recommendations of many in the preservation field who have carefully
reviewed and provided thoughtful comments on the original publication. As a result, this
edition provides updated and practical information for those undertaking the preparation of
a landscape preservation maintenance plan.

It is hoped that you will continue to provide insightful comments and suggestions on
this publication. In this way, the Olmsted Center will keep this Guide current and applicable
to the field.
