Abstract
Since UNESCO adapted the concept of “cultural landscape” as a criterion for the registration of World Cultural Heritage in 1992, Canada has focused on the evaluation of historic agricultural landscapes as cultural landscapes and developed a framework to actively conserve them in the system of National Historic Site. The framework is characterized by; (a) partnerships between the property owners and Parks Canada represented by the creation of the statement, and (b) various support menus for the property owners' conservation activities provided by Parks Canada. The effectiveness of the framework is discussed through two case studies as Buxton, Ontario and Stirling, Alberta.
