This past November the Friends of NCPTT and the National Trust for Historic Preservation convened a small group of experts to discuss historic preservation and environmental sustainability.

After two days of intense discussions, the group developed the core of the Pocantico Proclamation on Sustainability and Historic Preservation. While a good starting point to further discussion on sustainability of the built environment, we ask that you review the Pocantico Proclamation and add your comments. Input from the broader preservation community is critical. We appreciate your participation.
