Landslide 2010: Every Tree Tells a Story

Landslide 2010

Give me a land of boughs in leaf, A land of trees that stand; Where trees are fallen there is grief; I love no leafless land.
-A.E. Housman

Sentinel and specimen trees, allées and boulevards, hedgerows and urban forests— they surround us and are living reminders of our heritage. Either formal or vernacular, these irreplaceable trees and tree groupings are often associated with historically important people and events that have shaped the development of communities and cultures. They stand as living reminders to our country’s past and have the potential to bear witness to coming generations. For this, these natural elements command the same awe and admiration that our culture bequeaths upon brilliant artists, poets, and scholars.

In order to honor and help preserve our country’s heritage of trees, the Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) and Garden Design magazine are again teaming up with their 2010 Landslide: Every Tree Tells a Story. TCLF is also pleased to welcome The Davey Tree Expert Company as Landslide's 2010 Presenting Sponsor and American Forests as a sponsor.

Since its inception in 2003, the Landslide initiative has spotlighted more than 150 significant at-risk parks, gardens, horticultural features, and working landscapes. This year’s theme will again do so by calling attention to the places that embody our shared landscape heritage. Selections will be announced this fall.
