The Ahmanson Lecture on Clark Library Legacies: Landscape and Legacy
March 3 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Lecture by Tracy Wolk (Landscape Designer) and Stephanie Landregan (Landscape Architect and Director Altadena Green). Moderated by Brian Brodersen, (Landscape Architect and Principal/Owner Brodersen Associates).
Join us for the inaugural Ahmanson Lecture at the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, an evening exploring how history, design, and stewardship can shape the future of Los Angeles’s most meaningful landscapes.
Landscape designer Tracy Wolk shares her vision for the Clark’s historic gardens, reimagining their early 20th-century character for a future grounded in sustainability, resilience, and respect for heritage. She will be joined by Stephanie Landregan, director of Altadena Green, a community initiative established after the Altadena fires to protect and restore the city’s historic trees. Together, they consider how preservation and innovation can coexist to sustain California’s cultural landscapes in a changing climate.
Presented in recognition of Lee Walcott, whose enduring support through the auspices of the Ahmanson Foundation continues to nurture the Clark Library and its living legacy.
The registration form is available on our website.

Registration will close on Thursday, February 26 at 5:00 p.m.
