A 27-ACRE PASTORAL OASIS IN THE MIDDLE OF GEORGETOWN, DUMBARTON OAKS PARK IS THE WOODLAND AND MEADOW PORTION OF MILDRED AND ROBERT WOOD BLISS ORIGINAL 53-ACRE DUMBARTON OAKS ESTATE. ONE OF THE FINEST GARDEN DESIGNS IN AMERICAN LANDSCAPE HISTORY, IT IS THE MASTER WORK OF BEATRIX FARRAND, AMERICA'S FIRST WOMAN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT. FARRAND'S 1921 LANDSCAPE DESIGN CREATED A PROGRESSION FROM FORMAL GARDEN ROOMS NEAR THE MAIN HOUSE TO LESS FORMAL AREAS DOWN THE HILLSIDE, BEFORE FLOWING INTO A NATURALISTIC WOODLAND GARDEN IN THE STREAM VALLEY. THIS "WILD" PORTION OF THE ESTATE IS A HIGHLY DESIGNED COMPOSITION OF MEADOWS, WOODS, AND STREAM, WITH WATERFALLS, BRIDGES, AND A REFLECTING POND DEFINING THE LANDSCAPE. IN 1940, THE BLISSES DONATED THE NATURALISTIC PORTION OF THE GARDEN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS A PUBLIC PARK, OVERSEEN TODAY BY THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE (NPS) AS DUMBARTON OAKS PARK. THE PARK IS EMERGING FROM ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS AFTER TWELVE YEARS OF DUMBARTON OAKS PARK CONSERVANCY'S DEDICATION TO ITS RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION. THIS WORK INCLUDES THE REMOVAL OF INVASIVE PLANTS THAT OVERRUN THE WOODS AND MEADOWS, REPAIRING AND PROTECTING CRUMBLING STONEWORK, AND ADDRESSING STORMWATER RUNOFF INTO THE VALLEY THAT ERODES THE HILLSIDES, UNDERMINES THE GRAND OLD TREES, SILTS UP THE STREAM AND PONDS AND UNDERCUTS THE DECORATIVE WATERFALLS.
