Advocacy
The National Trust and its partners advocate for public policies that benefit historic preservation by:
- passing legislation and implementing policies that preserve the historic and cultural fabric of our nation's communities;
- protecting historic and cultural resources from inappropriate legislation, regulatory rulings, or court decisions that hinder preservation;
- preserving community input in the policy-making process; and,
- researching and documenting best practices and model preservation policies.
