Landslide Program
LANDSLIDE: THE GOAL OF THE LANDSLIDE PROGRAM IS TO DRAW IMMEDIATE AND LASTING ATTENTION TO THREATENED LANDSCAPES AND UNIQUE FEATURES. THE PROGRAM SPARKS DEBATE, REVEALS THE VALUE OF EVERYDAY PLACES, AND ENCOURAGES INFORMED COMMUNITY-BASED STEWARDSHIP DECISIONS AS IT HIGHLIGHTS AND MONITORS AT-RISK LANDSCAPES AND CREATES ANNUAL THEMATIC LISTINGS TO SAVE THIS HERITAGE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. THROUGH WEB-BASED NEWS STORIES, TRAVELING EXHIBITIONS, AND PRINT PUBLICATIONS, LANDSLIDE REVEALS THE VALUE OF THESE OFTEN-FORGOTTEN LANDSCAPES. EACH YEAR TCLF CREATES AN ANNUAL REPORT ABOUT THREATENED AND AT-RISK SITES; SOME WELL-KNOWN, OTHERS OBSCURE. TO BRING ATTENTION TO THESE SIGNIFICANT PLACES, TCLF CREATES RICHLY ILLUSTRATED ONLINE PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITIONS WITH NARRATIVE HISTORIES OF EACH SITE, THE NATURE OF THE THREAT, AND CRITICAL INFORMATION FOR LEARNING MORE AND GETTING INVOLVED.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2023 – Dec 31, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$741KCornelia Hahn Oberlander International Landscape Architecture Prize

WHAT'S OUT THERE (WOT): THE GOAL OF THIS SEARCHABLE, EASY-TO-NAVIGATE DATABASE IS TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THE RICH DIVERSITY AND INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF OUR SHARED DESIGNED LANDSCAPE HERITAGE. SPANNING OVER TWO CENTURIES OF AMERICAN LANDSCAPE DESIGN, THE WHAT'S OUT THERE DATABASE IS SEARCHABLE BY LANDSCAPE NAME, LOCALE, DESIGNER, TYPE, AND SYTLE. IT HAS OVER 2,500 ENTRIES SO FAR WITH CONTENT CREATED BY ACADEMICS, VOLUNTEERS, AND ADVOCATES, AND HAS BEEN VETTED OVER THE PAST DECADE BY DOZENS OF RESEARCHERS AND HISTORIANS. WE CREATED WHAT'S OUT THERE TO SERVE AS A REFERENCE FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS OF DESIGN AND HISTORY, ENTHUSIASTS, AND PROFESSIONALS, PROVOKING INTEREST, INFORMING STEWARDSHIP DECISIONS, AND ENRICHING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF OUR DESIGNED LANDSCAPE HISTORY. AN EXTENSION OF THE WHAT'S OUT THERE DATABASE, WHAT'S OUT THERE WEEKEND DRAWS PEOPLE OUT INTO THEIR COMMUNITIES TO EXPERIENCE FIRST-HAND THE LANDSCAPES THAT THEY SEE EVERY DAY BUT OFTEN OVERLOOK.
