The Olmsted Network launched the Olmsted Trail, a dynamic new resource for exploring the past, present, and future of landscapes shaped by Frederick Law Olmsted, his sons, and their successors. At its core, the Trail is an interactive map that allows you to discover landscapes by location, name, job number, and project type. From there, you can dive into individual sites—tracing original plans and drawings, viewing historic and contemporary photos, and learning how these spaces are cared for today.

Now through July 15, nominate Olmsted champions for the Caroline Loughlin Volunteer Service Award or the Olmsted Stewardship Award.

The Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks & Landscapes mourn the loss of Dr. Raymond Bahr, who enthusiastically explored the Olmsted legacy in Maryland and on family travels throughout the US. Ray served on the FMOPL board (2009-2017) and as vice president (2011-2013). Not only was he a distinguished cardiologist, but he was also active in documenting the history of the Canton community in Baltimore as well as advocating for social justice and environmental issues. FMOPL is grateful to have had him as a supporter. More information on his meaningful life can be found at https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/catonsville-md/raymond-bahr-12707206.
