A LANDSCAPING APPROACH TO THE RESTAURATION AND REABILITHATION OF ARCALIA ARBORETUM PROJECT

Abstract

In the last decades, the restoration and rehabilitation work for Romanian historical monuments have taken a quite great dimension. Approaching the historical landscape requires a close-up view of all the issues regarding re-construction of those sites, and their reinstatement in the present context. For the Arcalia Arboretum, a team of landscapers took the task of restoration all vegetation elements. First, an inventory was made for all trees and shrubs, late in the year 2014. This inventory was compared with a former inventory from the 1970's, the best preserved from the past. All the rehabilitation proposals include both dendrological and maintenance aspects.
