Conservation management and master plans


The Garden History Society list of Conservation Management Plans

Conservation Management Plans (CMPs) are valuable tools for developing informed management strategies for historic designed landscapes, and typically include research on a site’s history, development and surviving state, and taken together they form a sizeable body of material on the UK’s designed landscape heritage.

To harness the potential of this information, The Garden History Society maintain a reference list of CMPs and related research for historic designed landscapes. This was made possible with sponsorship and support from English Heritage.
