Description
York’s parks, gardens and strays fulfil multiple functions in the 21st century, including amenity, nature conservation, recreation and agriculture. The papers in the booklet, based on a conference in York, explore the archaeology and history of York’s open spaces, their wildlife value and changes in land use on the urban fringe. The booklet includes accounts of visits to the Museum Gardens and Rowntree Park.
