Heritage is often linked to old buildings. But did you know that heritage can be anything that a community values and wants to preserve, regardless of age? Heritage can be a place, a landscape, a cultural tradition, a language, and much more. It does not need a connection to a famous historical figure or event, and it does not have to be architecturally significant or aesthetically pleasing to be considered heritage.
