If you are looking for inspiration, the following two publications from the European Heritage Days initiative provide a wealth of ideas

In addition, a range of case studies have been collected and are available from the Natura 2000 webpages. DG ENV has also published a new study on Linking Natura 2000 and cultural heritage which presents examples of how the management of nature and culture has been successfully integrated across Europe, highlighting the actual or potential role played by the Natura 2000 network.
