Tender: Climate Adaptation Case Studies for Designated Historic Parks, Gardens and Demesnes in the UK

About

Historic England, in partnership with the National Lottery Heritage Fund, is seeking a supplier to compile a set of case studies showing how designated historic parks, gardens and demesnes across the UK are experiencing and responding to climate change impacts and risks. The case studies will be presented in a report to be published in the Historic England Research Report Series and summarised in an accompanying non-technical summary, building on earlier stakeholder research that identified gaps in practical, site-specific examples and fragmented guidance for owners and managers. The project aims to capture approaches across the complex mix of horticulture, arboriculture, ecology, hydrology, infrastructure, archaeology, visitor management and governance, and to share transferable lessons to support peer learning, site visits, pilot projects and targeted funding for climate resilience.
