Abstract
Collaborative approaches to preserving cultural landscapes without displacing communities represent a recent paradigm shift in the National Park Service's policy. This parallels the paradigm. shift in the general field of land use planning in which principles of collaboration and growth management have emerged.
Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve, the subject of this thesis, has the unique mission of preserving the cultural landscape established by the original European settlers while accommodating the vibrant community of today. Tensions between the community's need to adapt to changing circumstances and the desire to safeguard its heritage pose a challenge to the Trust Board, the Reserve's managing organization. Through in-depth interviews with residents and business owners within the Reserve, and case studies of the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Area and Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor, this research evaluates the Trust Board's role in preserving the cultural landscape in the context of a working community.
