Abstract/Summary

The paper reviews, from a British perspective, the ecological contribution to landscape conservation. It focuses upon the development of an institutional framework for the study and stewardship of the 'living' heritage, the enquiries required of ecologists as to how plant and animal communities functioned, and the increasing support given to what came to be known as 'creative conservation'. Such endeavours, as were often pursued under the self-conscious title of 'historical ecology', have, in their turn, called for a greater discernment in the use of the term 'naturalness' to describe any protected area, let alone the larger countryside.
