at the Olmsted Center for Landscape Preservation. Robert Page and Charles Birnbaum from
the Washington Office of the National Park Service offered guidance with respect to nation-

wide applicability. Cathy Gilbert and Marsha Tolon at the Pacific West Division of Cultural
Resources Management, offered insights from their work on a comparable guide. Arthur Dutil
from Chesterwood, a National Trust property, Steve McMahon from Naumkeag, a property of
The Trustees of Reservations, and Peter Del Tredici from the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard
University, offered their perspectives on the applicability of this system to other cultural land-
scapes. Rolf Diamant, and Lee Farrow Cook, at the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic
Site provided many helpful review comments. Catherine Evans and Eliot Foulds at the
Olmsted Center, and Phyllis Andersen and Kristin Claeys at the Arnold Arboretum, also
