The Tregaron Conservancy refers to a 13 acre privately owned and managed historic woodland garden nature park in Northwest, Washington, D.C.[3] and the nonprofit organization that manages it. It is an urban green space in Cleveland Park, bounded in the north by Macomb Stream and private residences, in the south and east by the Klingle Valley Trail which connects to Rock Creek Park, and to the west by the Washington International School and Twin Oaks.
The conservancy is part of former Tregaron Estate, which was formerly part of the neighboring estate Twin Oaks.[4] Landscape architects Charles Adams Platt and Ellen Biddle Shipman,[4] designed a “wilderness garden, with streams and bridges and paths, and native plants and dappled sunshine" planted with specimens that mimic the natural surroundings.[5] An heir to the estate recollected the grounds as "masses of daffodils in the spring and masses of azaleas and a little babbling brook and arched bridges under which I'm sure trolls lived."[6]
