Dumbarton Oaks Park Conservancy is a nonprofit organization focused on restoring and maintaining Dumbarton Oaks Park, a 27-acre woodland and meadow landscape in Georgetown, Washington, DC. Established in 2011, the Conservancy works in partnership with the National Park Service to address environmental and structural challenges within the park, including invasive species, deteriorating stonework, and water management issues, with the aim of preserving the historic landscape for current and future generations. Its work supports public access to a significant Beatrix Farrand-designed landscape, which stands as a notable example in American garden design and landscape history. The Conservancy operates within the civic and social sectors, collaborating with a federal public land manager to sustain a valued green space that serves the city’s residents and visitors. The organization is based in Washington, DC, and operates with a small staff to advance its restoration and maintenance mission.
