Partnership gives you direct access to park and landscape professionals across the country. Many partners discover they’re navigating similar challenges — and we’re always happy to help make connections or set up 1:1 calls. The more we know about what you’re working through, the better we can support you.

Alternating between Idea Exchanges and Skills Labs, these meetings are great opportunities to crowdsource ideas, learn new things, and explore timely topics.

If you have milestones, new programs, or community successes, we’d love to help share them. We can collaborate on blog posts and highlight your updates in our newsletter and across social media.

We host dozens of nationally attended webinars and programs each year. When you have a major project or success story, we can platform that work and invite you to present or join panels — connecting you with audiences who truly understand and value green-space stewardship. We can also speak at your events with notice. 

Whether you're trying to connect with city officials, strengthen a friends group, or navigating the legal process, we’re here to help and connect you to others who have been in your shoes.

We recently launched the Betsy Shure Gross Impact Fund, which offers rapid support to partners who need quick assistance. We can also help connect you to other funding sources and write letters of support.

We can help your team locate and make sense of original Olmsted plans, correspondence letters, and more. We're also happy to introduce you to landscape architects and other practitioners who specialize in historic landscapes and support you in your efforts to develop National Register Nominations, Cultural Resource Reports, and Comprehensive Plans.

Partnership is free—we never want cost to be a barrier to working together. While there is no required annual fee, we invite organizations to consider a voluntary, annual gift based on their size and capacity. These contributions allow us to reinvest directly in our partners through education, connection, and personalized 1:1 support.

We'll need you to share relevant staff contacts — typically leadership and communications staff — so we can loop them into partner communications and important updates.

All of our partners receive an entire page of website real estate over on our Partner Directory. We'll need your help to pull materials together: a 1-2 paragraph "About Us" statement and 5-10 horizontal photos with location and photographer credits.

We’re here to support advocacy efforts on issues ranging from privatization to disinvestment. We list all of our public advocacy efforts on our Olmsted Action. Check there to see how we’ve advocated for landscapes, and explore our advocacy toolkit for practical guides on forming friends groups, writing letters to officials and more.

Each year, we honor exceptional dedication to Olmsted parks and landscapes through our annual awards cycle. We encourage you to nominate outstanding individuals, groups, and projects that deserve this special recognition.

The Olmsted Network’s annually convenes partners from across the country to address shared challenges, build practical skills, and learn from one another. Hosted in a different city each year, the conference also spotlights Olmsted-designed landscapes and the local communities working to steward them today.

We encourage you to join our mailing list. Our Olmsted Insider newsletter goes out on the 1st of every month and always has space for partner headlines and happenings. We can also provide text your newsletters.
