Our Position on Public Lands
The National Trust for Historic Preservation is dedicated to the protection and enhancement of cultural and historic resources on federal public lands. We are focused on ensuring that federal land management agencies recognize and achieve their stewardship responsibilities for cultural and historic resources.
Our committed staff focuses on: raising public awareness about the need to identify, evaluate, and protect cultural and historic resources; participating in agency decisionmaking for projects and activities that may affect these resources; and advocating for adequate funding for the management and protection of these resources. We work hard to build relationships and partnerships with federal land management agencies, State Historic Preservation Offices, other federal, state, and tribal agencies, and diverse organizations to provide support for more effective and efficient cultural and historic resource protection.
