We host quarterly meetings to help you connect with others across the Olmsted Network. These gatherings offer space to ask questions, share ideas and learn from peers who are navigating similar challenges.

Partners are invited to attend our annual conference, held each year in a different Olmsted-rich city. These multi-day events include expert panels and exclusive insider tours. Scholarships are often available to help partners with attendance costs.

Partners are also encouraged to join our Pop-Up trips, where a small group visits a city to connect with local partners and explore their unique histories, landscapes and current opportunities and challenges.

We offer a mix of formal and informal virtual programs—from our Conversations with Olmsted panel series to history presentations and more. Many of these sessions are recorded and available on YouTube.

We’ve done the hard work so you don’t have to! Our collection of easy-to-use toolkits helps you find the research and resources you need, advocate for historic landscapes and bring Olmsted into the classroom.

We’re always looking for partners to share their knowledge and experiences during our webinars and events—whether it’s tree maintenance, comprehensive planning or other important topics.

Looking for an expert speaker? Our team is available to present at both virtual and in-person events and meetings.

Need content for your newsletter? We’re happy to provide text on topics like your landscape’s history, our upcoming webinars and local events to help keep your community informed.

Is your organization proud of a milestone or project? Our Olmsted Insider newsletter publishes on the 1st of each month and always includes partner news.

Each year, we honor exceptional dedication to Olmsted parks and landscapes through our annual awards cycle. We encourage you to nominate outstanding friends and volunteers who deserve this special recognition.

Partners have first dibs when it comes to featuring their landscapes on the Olmsted Trail.

We’d love to list all our partners in our partnership directory! By working together, we can create a dedicated page for your organization and help drive traffic to your website.

"Frederick Law Olmsted: Landscapes for the Public Good" is a downloadable exhibit with 23 panels of vivid photos, drawings and text. Designed for Olmsted 200 by Dr. Caroline Mesrobian Hickman of the University of Maryland and the Oak Spring Garden Foundation, it explores the many facets of Olmsted’s life and legacy. The exhibit is timeless and can be easily added to your website— or downloaded and printed to create an eye-catching physical display.
