A non-profit established in 1998, The Cultural Landscape Foundation® (TCLF) connects people to places. TCLF educates and engages the public to make our shared landscape heritage more visible, identify its value, and empower its stewards. TCLF achieves this mission through the ongoing development of its core programs:
- What’s Out There®, North America’s largest and most exhaustive database of cultural landscapes;
- Pioneers of American Landscape Design®, an in-depth multimedia library, inclusive of video oral histories, chronicling the lives of significant landscape architects and educators;
- Landslide®, an ongoing collection of important landscapes and landscape features that are threatened and at-risk.
- The Cornelia Hahn Oberlander International Landscape Architecture Prize, the first and only prize in landscape architecture to include a US$100,000 award.
TCLF is headquartered in light-filled offices in the heart of Washington, D.C.’s, Dupont Circle neighborhood. If you thrive when given a diverse set of tasks, please get in touch! Check us out at www.tclf.org.
