The Foundation for Landscape Studies seeks to foster an active understanding of the importance of place in human life through landscape studies, a field that encompasses all cultural landscapes-gardens, parks, cities, suburbs, rural areas, and the humanized wilderness. Its activities include the publication of Site/Lines, a literary journal aimed at an audience of readers that values thoughtful commentary and criticism relating to landscape history, theory, and design. In addition, it sponsors lectures, conferences, and study tours.
The foundation is a not-for-profit corporation governed by a board of directors. Under the leadership of its president, Elizabeth Barlow Rogers, it initiates collaborative projects with other organizations, institutions, and individuals. Through these associations and its own independent activities, it serves as a center of communication and collaboration.
The foundation awards at the discretion of the board of directors grants to graduate students and mid-career professionals for research, travel, and publication assistance. It also awards an annual prize to the author of a book published within the past two years on a landscape subject of interest to both scholars and general readers. The foundation does not consider unsolicited grant applications.
