The Committee of 100 on the Federal City chose the Tregaron Conservancy for a 2014 Vision Award. Â These awards are “presented annually to nominated projects, plans, and individuals that represent new models for sustainable problem solving and achineving excellence in that endeavor — all within the context of the principles and values emerging from the L’Enfant Plan and the McMillan Commission Plan.” Â Nancy MacWood, Chair of The Committee of 100 on the Federal City, cited the Conservancy’s many accomplishments. Â Her remarks and the commendation on the plaque read: Â “For its ongoing efforts to rehabilitate and maintain the landscape of the historic Tregaron Estate dating back to 1912. Â After more than 25 years of legal battles to limit development of the site, the conservancy became the beneficiary of a donation of thirteen acres to be protected in perpetuity. Â It has, since its founding in January 2006, rehabilitated bridle paths and pedestrian trails, restored stone bridges, and planted hundreds of trees and thousands of daffodils. Â In so doing, it has brought back to life an obstructed open space in the middle of the city, and made this open space available for the public’s enjoyment.”
