The Foundation for Landscape Studies, whose mission was to foster an active understanding of the importance of place in human life, was founded in 2005 by Elizabeth Barlow Rogers. While it no longer operates as an independent not-for-profit organization, its legacy is being furthered by the University of Virginia's Center for Cultural Landscapes.

The Center for Cultural Landscapes will continue the legacy of the Foundation for Landscape Studies by stewarding its Book Awards, the JB Jackson Book Prize and the Coffin Publication Grant, and sharing its primary publication — Site/Lines, a donor-supported journal of place embracing park and garden history, theory, and design; city planning; and the cultural interpretation of ordinary landscapes.
