Landscapes
INVENTORY LIST
This inventory list is a searchable spreadsheet of documented sites and potential candidates for HALS documentation in northern California. You can search by name, city, county, and other criteria.
This list of potential sites was compiled by volunteers in 2004. The list needs to be updated regularly (at least once a year) to indicate what sites have had documentation completed.
We welcome your input. If you can document a landscape in northern California, please download the HALS Short Format History guidelines, brochure, and template. To avoid duplication of effort, please tell us which landscape you will be documenting before you start documenting it. Please email Chris Patillo, FASLA, the site you would like to document.
DOCUMENTING SITES FOR LEVELS I TO IV
