Drawing on a variety of disciplines such as archaeology, geography and architecture, Historic Landscape Characterisation attempts to describe and document the character of different landscapes in order that they may be valued for the social resource that they are, and managed as historical capital. Managing the landscape is not just about looking after the protected or iconic parts that we are all generally familiar with, but it must also be about understanding and caring for everyday and undesignated places as well.

The carbon footprint for the multi-disciplinary LCA CPD Course September 2010 is five tonnes of CO2 from car travel and fossil fuels associated with heating and electricity usage at training venues

It is based on the work of the Heritage Council and many of its Irish and European partners in seeking, over a ten-year period, to promote the implementation of the European Landscape Convention (ELC).

This CPD training course will be of significant value to those whose professional work impinges on the Irish landscape including planners, landscape architects, archaeologists, ecologists, architects, engineers and horticulturists. Individuals might – for example - be working for a local authority or in private practice.

Minogue and Associates were commissioned by the Heritage Council to update the LCA Baseline Audit and Evaluation report published in 2006.The same full and detailed review, consultation and analysis undertaken for the Baseline Report has not been undertaken for this research.

The diversity and style of the papers reflect the experience and interests of the authors and similarly serve to highlight that landscape is dynamic and changing in response to natural and cultural causes.
