Stewardship Excellence Awards
First awarded in 2001, the Stewardship Excellence Award is bestowed on a person, group, or agency that shares TCLF's mission of connecting people to places.
Past recipients of the Stewardship Excellence Award include individuals, nonprofit organizations, historic property stewards, and local and state municipalities. The aim of the award is to highlight stewardship stories that will educate and inspire future generations of cultural landscape stewards.
