  • Historic Landscape Preservation Initiative

    HISTORIC LANDSCAPE: THE FOUNDATION PRESERVES AND ENHANCES THE 409-ACRE HISTORIC LANDSCAPE OF PLANTING FIELDS, ONE OF THE FEW REMAINING INTACT GOLD COAST ESTATES OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. IN 2024, WITH SUPPORT FROM PARKS AND TRAILS NEW YORK, THE FOUNDATION IMPLEMENTED A SITEWIDE WAYFINDING AND INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE PROJECT. IN COLLABORATION WITH NEW YORK STATE PARKS, THE BUREAU OF HISTORIC SITES, AND INTERNATIONAL DESIGN FIRM WIEDEMANN LAMPE, THE INITIATIVE DELIVERED 120 CUSTOM SIGNS, 10 INTERPRETIVE DISTRICTS, AND A NEW COLOR-CODED VISITOR MAP AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH, SPANISH, AND CHINESE, BOTH ON-SITE AND ONLINE. THIS PROJECT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED NAVIGATION, BROADENED CIRCULATION, AND ENHANCED VISITOR ENGAGEMENT WHILE PRESERVING THE HISTORIC INTEGRITY OF THE LANDSCAPE. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O.)IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NYSOPRHP, IN 2023, THE FOUNDATION COMPLETED THE RESTORATION OF THE ORIGINAL OLMSTED BROTHERS OAK ALLEE, REMOVING DISEASED TREES ALONG THE MAIN ENTRANCE DRIVE AND REPLANTING 101 NATIVE CHINKAPIN AND WHITE OAKS. THIS PROJECT RESTORED A HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT DESIGN FEATURE WHILE ALSO IMPROVING BIODIVERSITY, WATERSHED HEALTH, AND CARBON SEQUESTRATION. THE WORK WAS SUPPORTED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL GIVING AND MAJOR GIFTS. WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION FUND SUPPORT, THE FOUNDATION ALSO INSTALLED 2,000 LINEAR FEET OF ADA-COMPLIANT PATHWAYS LINKING THE MAIN PARKING AREA TO KEY GARDENS, DRAMATICALLY IMPROVING ACCESSIBILITY AND EQUITABLE PUBLIC ACCESS.
