Thomas Woltz received a 2025 Frederic Church Award from The Olana Partnership alongside fellow honorees David Hartt and Susan & David Rockefeller.

The Frederic Church Awards honor individuals who embody the intersection of art, environment, and design. This award recognizes NBW’s work at Church’s Olana as well as the two decades of work infusing narratives of the land into the public realm, inspiring connections and stewardship.

NBW has been working at Olana over the past twelve years, and the deeply committed team—especially NBW’s Mark Strieter and Charlotte Barrows—seeks to help bring Frederic Church’s living masterpiece back into view. We are immensely grateful to Susan Turner whose Cultural Landscape Synthesis paved the way for this work, to our collaborators Robin Key and Mark Prezorski, and to the passionate community that continues to safeguard Olana’s legacy.
