Celebrating Earth Day and World Landscape Architecture Month!
 
Today, and all month, we recognize the powerful connection between people, place, and the planet. Landscape architecture plays a vital role in shaping resilient, sustainable environments that not only protect our natural resources, but also enhance everyday life.
 
From restoring ecosystems to designing vibrant public spaces, landscape architects help communities thrive while caring for the earth we all share.
 
This Earth Day, we celebrate thoughtful design, environmental stewardship, and the lasting impact of landscape architecture; today and for generations to come!

Waterfronts are more than edges, they’re opportunities.
 
From sidewalks that frame everyday views to parks that invite gathering and connection, waterfront design shapes how people experience water in their daily lives. Whether along a river, lake, or ocean, these spaces create access, strengthen community, and reconnect us to the natural systems that define our landscapes.
 
This , we’re highlighting the impact of thoughtful waterfront design; where access meets experience, and every step brings us closer to the water.

Streets are more than corridors, they’re the front lines of community life.
 
This World Landscape Architecture Month, we’re celebrating the power of streetscapes to transform how we move, connect, and experience our everyday environments. From safer crossings to vibrant public spaces, thoughtful design turns ordinary streets into places people want to be.
 
Landscape architects are shaping streets that are greener, more inclusive, and built for the future one block at a time.

Hear it straight from our leaders!

Current MiASLA ExCom members share why being part of the Executive Committee has been such a meaningful experience, from building connections to shaping the future of our chapter.
 
Now it’s your turn. Elections are open, consider nominating yourself or a colleague.

Save the date! 
 
The Michigan ASLA Annual Conference is headed to East Lansing this year, and we can’t wait to bring our community together for a day of inspiration, connection, and great design.
 
Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more details… you won’t want to miss it.

Landscape architecture is everywhere, and this month, we’re celebrating it!
 
From the streets we walk to the parks we gather in, landscape architects shape the spaces that connect, protect, and inspire our communities every day.
 
Throughout World Landscape Architecture Month, we’re highlighting the impact of this profession and the thoughtful design behind the places you experience daily.
 
Look around, you’re standing in it!
