A free webinar series for ASLA members hosted by ASLA CEO Torey Carter-Conneen, Hon. ASLA.

Property insurers have been cautious about updating rates to account for nature-based solutions designed to reduce flood risks. They cite data and research gaps and argue more evidence is needed on how these solutions perform in comparison with grey or hybrid solutions. Learn how the Environmental Defense Fund, City of Boston, and Stone Living Lab are in the process of making the case for nature-based solutions. Their argument: these solutions result in lower risks and greater benefits for communities. Their work can change how insurers factor in these solutions when calculating new rates.

Although biodiversity has become the latest buzzword in landscape architecture, supporting biodiversity through design can still feel like a daunting task. Join us to learn about the importance of referring to local, native “proxy” habitats through design–the reference ecosystem design approach. This is the first in a three-part series on how to incorporate design for biodiversity into your everyday workflow.

Join climate and biodiversity action leaders for a webinar series exploring innovative strategies for decarbonization, biodiversity conservation, and climate resilience.

Join a dynamic roundtable discussion with firm leaders featured in the 2024 ASLA Landscape Architecture Industry Report as we explore key trends and uncover new developments shaping the profession in 2025.

This session will examine what is going on with AI, what are people using, what can be done, and how will this impact our lives.

Hear from Canadian landscape architects working in local and regional government on how to overcome national obstacles and advance biodiversity and climate goals. Learn about Nunavut’s Climate Adaptation Plan, Vancouver’s Blue Green systems, and Toronto’s performance requirements for low carbon, resilient, and biodiverse development – which have all been led by landscape architects. Discover new ways to move forward policy and action in an equitable way at the local and regional levels.

The landscape architecture community has made major strides in communicating the economic benefits of nature-based solutions and landscape architecture. Last year, ASLA published a series of economic research briefs that synthesized existing research on economic benefits. The research also explored the economic benefits found in the Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF)’s Landscape Performance Series Case Study Briefs. Learn how to leverage economic frameworks to make the case for your project.

Experts from the ASLA LARE Prep Committee provided their professional experience and insight into the sub-domains of the exams.

Learn to approach water with a proactive mindset, recognizing its essential role in sustaining life and the environment.
