A non-profit established in 1998, The Cultural Landscape Foundation® (TCLF) connects people to places. TCLF educates and engages the public to make our shared landscape heritage more visible, identify its value, and empower its stewards. TCLF achieves this mission through the ongoing development of its four core programs: >What’s Out There®, North America’s largest and most exhaustive database of cultural landscapes; >Pioneers of American Landscape Design®, an in-depth multimedia library, inclusive of video oral histories, chronicling the lives of significant landscape architects and educators; >Landslide®, an ongoing collection of important landscapes and landscape features that are threatened; >The Cornelia Hahn Oberlander International Landscape Architecture Prize®, a biennial prize in landscape architecture that includes a US$100,000 monetary award and two years of public engagement activities.

The Fellow will work alongside HOCKER Managing Partner Biff Sturgess, TCLF’s president and CEO Charles A. Birnbaum, and the rest of the staff on TCLF’s core programming, with a special focus on the What’s Out There program in the Dallas Fort Worth area. The work will be an engaging mix of research and content development and will also offer the opportunity to pursue professional interests. The fellowship requires an eight-week commitment through the summer. The start date is somewhat flexible.
