The Conservancy’s application highlighted its broad range of initiatives, including the “Discovering” lecture and walking tour series, “Ask the Experts” free educational programs, the “Night of Lights” streetscape exhibition, and other free and low-cost public programs. The application also emphasized the Conservancy’s expanded geographic focus.
