Copyright © 1995 by the Civil War Trust A project planning team has been assessing site significance and developing management objectives and preservation strategies for significant sites. They have also been working with local and regional planning authorities to encourage land­ owners to protect these sites. The assessment is roughly half completed. The project planning team has met with private property owners, local government officials, and the general public to determine the top fifty sites needing protection. The next step is to discuss the benefits of preservation, such as tax credits and tourism, and the mechanisms of preservation, such as The Discovery System is designed military, social, political, and cultural scenic easements and greenways, with to stimulate interest in and promote character of mid-19th century those groups.
