Cheryl Sams
Cheryl Sams, Landscape Architect from the National Park
Service Northeast Region pitch-hit for Charles Birnbaum who
had been scheduled to speak. Cheryl provided attendees with
an overview of the responsibilities and challenges facing
them as they work to preserve cultural landscapes at their
institutions. In the brief time availalbe, Cheryl was able
to use the visuals in her powerpoint presentation to train
the group in the basics of cultural landscape preservation.
The slides from the powerpoint presentation, Preserving
Cultural Landscapes: A Design Issue are available below.
While seeing the session through the powerpoint slides is
not nearly as effective as Cheryl was as a speaker, it is
still very good as a 'virtual session'.

Cultural Landscapes: A Design Issue
Charles Birnbaum provided materials for the Conference workbook
that cover many of the basics of cultural landscape preservation.
They are referenced below. You might want to pay particular
attention to Preservation Brief #36. As Cheryl Sams said in
her presentation, 'you don't need to buy big books, the brief
is excellent'.
