Born in New York City, M. Paul Friedberg (1931-2025) earned a B.S. in 1954 in ornamental horticulture at Cornell University. In his hometown, he established M. Paul Friedberg and Associates, now known as MPFP with Rick Parisi as the principal.

The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) released Landslide 2023: 25 Years/25 Saved, a report and digital exhibition that features 25 landscapes and landscape groupings, representing 40 sites, that have been saved and protected for future generations due to TCLF’s advocacy, individually and in partnership with other organizations. In recognition of TCLF’s 25th anniversary this year, the annual thematic Landslide focuses on advocacy and public engagement success stories rather than on threatened landscapes and landscape features and looks forward to new opportunities, challenges, and possibilities as TCLF broadens its lens, expands its research, and leverages the public’s expanded interest in and understanding of cultural landscapes.
