Landscape Rehabilitation at Gettysburg National Military Park

Cultural Landscapes

Description

This video describes the Gettysburg battlefield landscape rehabilitation and is an invitation to discover more about the park's past, present, and future. A planning document was used to guide the rehabilitation of the landscape character to reflect how it appeared during the 1863 battle, returning it to a mosaic of smaller field patterns, rebuilding miles of wooden fencing, actively managing historic fields to open views, and planting orchards.
