Landscape Architecture Matters
|
|
|
For several weeks now we have learned and even personally experienced how our climate is taking a break from the significant force of action by human life. This is a reminder for us to preserve and protect our planet. We celebrated Earth Day 4/22/20 by promoting, protecting and strengthening green infrastructure. Excerpted from Greenability™, "Green infrastructure should not be viewed as an amenity, but rather as an important part of how and where we grow, with intrinsic value and importance." Go outside, take a breath of fresh air, and enjoy the contributions of Landscape Architecture, too. This month we feature the "American Society of Landscape Architects" with a salute to the profession.

History: ASLA was founded in 1899 by eleven landscape architects centered around Boston and New York. The original constitution, adopted March 6, 1899, stated, "the objects of this society shall be to promote good fellowship among its members and increase the efficiency of the profession." The goals of the founders, apart from providing themselves with a vehicle for professional fraternity, were to help define and formalize the practice of landscape architecture, ensure the professional competence of those admitted to the society's membership (in an era before licensure), and advocate for the establishment of courses in landscape architecture in various colleges and universities. The Society was organized on the principles of professional competence.

|
Mission/Objectives: Landscape Architects lead the planning, design and stewardship of healthy, equitable, safe and resilient environments. The Society's mission is to advance landscape architecture through advocacy, communications, education, and fellowship. And we strive for an organization culture that is Collaborative, Inclusive, Member-focused, Accountable, and Volunteer-supported.
