Description: SCS Landscape Resource Management (LRM) is the application of landscape architecture to SCS conservation activities. LRM includes but is not limited to visual resource management. LRM can be summarized in three principles: (1) SCS landscape architecture considers the landscape as a composite of ecological, social and visual resources; (2) SCS landscapes exist in the countryside or suburban setting rather than in wildland or wilderness; (3) The American public has expectations of country-side landscape resources that most likely differ from their expectations of all other types of landscapes.
