 On views like these, despite their differences, to recognize the heritage-dimension of the environment is to see its value as consisting, at least in part, in its narrative significance, its role in stories that connect us to the past and contribute a distinctive meaning to our lives (Holland 2011; Thompson 2000a; Scoville 2013). To see environmental preservation as guided by the preservation of narrative value can thus have significant implications: for instance, preserving narrative value might in fact entail changes to the physical landscape required for preserving meaning rather than material continuity or authenticity (O’Neill, Holland, &amp; Light 2008: 157; Arntzen 2008).
