The Stewardship Excellence Award was first awarded in 2001 by The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) to the Honorable Richard M. Daley, Mayor of Chicago.
The award is bestowed on a person, group or agency that shares TCLF's mission of "stewardship through education." Past recipients of the Stewardship Excellence Award include individuals, not-for-profit organizations, historic properties, local and state municipalities. The aim of the award is to spotlight stewardship stories that will educate and inspire future generations of cultural landscape stewards. The awards are often presented in conjunction with TCLF board meetings.
