Dutch term

patrimonium

Dutch to English Science Science (general)
Het gaat hier niet over gebouwen of een cultureel patrimonium, maar over een wetenschappelijke verzameling van planten en/of organismen die opgebouwd werd over een lange periode. Ik vind hetzelfde woord (patrimonium)en de letterlijke vertaling ervan(patrimony)in dezelfde context enkel op vertaalde websites, dus ik vermoed dat er een beter Engels woord voor bestaat maar ik kan er niet op komen.

legacy

I would use legacy rather than heritage. Heritage is more of an umbrella term, whereas legacy more often refers to specific things or a collection of things.
