Land stewardship: Spanish experiences in cultural heritage restoration
Abstract
Land stewardship is a public-social strategy born in the late 19th century in the United States for the conservation of natural resources and, over time, has spread to various countries around the world. Particularly in Spain, land stewardship is establishing as a strategy to conserve and manage different spaces not exclusively linked to natural resources but also closely connected to cultural and landscape values. The analysis of some Spanish experiences shows how land stewardship is a particularly useful social initiative also for the recovery of cultural heritage by promoting a territorial vision centered on the concept of heritage-common good and an approach to biocultural landscapes that offer a multidimensional understanding.
