World Monuments Fund (WMF) is now accepting proposals for sites looking to strengthen their resilience to climate change, share their knowledge, and plan for the future through the Cultivating Resilience program.
Cultivating Resilience is a three- to five-year program with a global reach and a diversity of site types, statuses, threats, and uses. Whether you call them “gardens,” “managed landscapes,” “cultural landscapes,” or “designed landscapes,” sites where humans interact with, care for, and protect plants can serve a dual purpose. They can act as treasured places where traditional knowledge and practices about strengthening climate resilience are passed down, but they can also be laboratories for trialing new and innovative practices that will help future generations adapt to a changing world.
