The mission

What this organization describes

Connecting people to places

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 three 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; and Landslide, an ongoing collection of important landscapes and landscape features that are threatened and at-risk.
