The Rosedale Conservancy was formed in the fall of 2002 as the organization in charge of managing the three acres of eighteenth century terraced lawns. This green space, long recognized as Cleveland Park's "village green" is now protected from development of any kind by a Conservation Easement.  The Conservancy is run by a 13-member, volunteer Board, listed below.

The Board is broadly representative of Cleveland Park, including representatives from the ANC, the Cleveland Park Historical Society and the Cleveland Park Citizens Association.  The current Board was elected by the general membership in November 2004, and will serve a two year term until the next election in fall 2006.

The Rosedale Conservancy is a DC not-for-profit corporation and has been qualified by the IRS as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization.
