Clippings: Replacing Trees in Cultural Landscapes
Olmsted Center for Landscape Preservation and National Association for Olmsted Parks. 2005. Clippings: Replacing Trees in Cultural Landscapes. Cultural Landscape Guidance Documents. National Park Service. Boston, MA
This publication provides guidance on replacing trees in cultural landscapes using methods that respect the sensitivity and importance of the site and its features. Information is provided sequentially, beginning with removing a tree stump, continuing with procedures for planting a replacement as close to the original location as possible, and concluding with a record keeping system to document work accomplished. The goal of these recommendations is to help guide field practices that minimize adverse impacts to the site, prevent damage to important resources, and protect the character and integrity of the cultural landscape. Clippings is a series produced by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Olmsted Center for Landscape Preservation in partnership with the National Association for Olmsted Parks. This occasional series addresses cultural landscape preservation maintenance and stewardship topics.
