'Through 2017/18, as the submissions for our thematic issue Landscapes: Heritage came together, it became apparent that a single issue would not be enough to contain the overwhelming number of responses that we received from Landscapes editor Drew Hubbell’s original call for contributions. Thus the editors decided to spread the contributions across two issues, which has been connected in the title for this issue, Volume 9, as Landscape: Heritage II. Volume 8 continues to surpass the download statistics for an individual issue of Landscapes, which is testimony to Drew’s sense of the importance of the topic. And yet this acknowledges too the talent and craft of current and previous editors Glen Phillips and John Ryan, as well as the enduring support of Executive Dean Professor Clive Barstow of the School of Arts and Humanities at ECU. It is these people who make the journal possible, and yet, ultimately it is the contributors who seasonally breathe life into Landscapes and the environmental humanities.' (Introduction)
