Annual Spotlights

The annual Landslide® initiative highlights significant landscapes that are little-known or at risk of being significantly altered or even demolished. The thematic designees are chosen from hundreds of nominations submitted from across the nation and highlight current issues in design and historic preservation.

In order to bring attention to these significant cultural landscapes, TCLF provides a richly illustrated narrative history of the site, the nature of the threat, and critical information for learning more and getting involved.
