This $49.95 course defines sustainable development as keeping what is "valuable by meeting our needs without prejudicing the ability of future generations to meet other own needs."

This course shows how sustainability and historic preservation work hand-in-hand to meet the goals of both.

The instructor, Hector Abreu Cintron, is well known in the preservation community as a cultural resources management expert.]]> http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/plan-180-preservation-and-sustainability-webinar/feed/ 3 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-field-school/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-field-school/#comments Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:02:18 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3836 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preservation-field-school/feed/ 1 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/reflectance-transformation-imaging-workshop/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/reflectance-transformation-imaging-workshop/#comments Tue, 14 Jul 2009 18:22:39 +0000 David W.
