Outsider Preservation Grantees' Commemorative Landscape Projects Underway

In its first round, OPI supported eight transformative projects that remind us preservation is as much about imagination as it is about memory, rooted in land, legacy, and love. Our current pilots and grantees are mobilizing grant funds to host trail rides, Freedom Colony tours, documentary premieres, advocate for disability access at historic and cultural sites, celebrate Black ecologies, stage play readings, and record oral environmental histories. Our call for Round 2 grant applications begins this fall.
