Olmsted 200 is a national campaign honoring the visionary father of American landscape architecture, Frederick Law Olmsted. 2022 marks the 200th anniversary of his birth.

The campaign will educate wide and diverse audiences about the enduring value of Olmsted’s landscape designs and principles. It will explore his commitment to public parks for all, comprehensive system-wide planning, and the mental and physical health benefits of access to nature.

Through education and advocacy at the local and national level, the campaign seeks to ensure that Olmsted’s legacy lives on for the next 200 years by renewing public and policy commitment to our natural and historical heritage.
