“Our national parks are places of peace and beauty - places where human life and nature can truly grow together. But the severe lack of funding to repair critical infrastructure is crippling our national park system...”
ASLA, as part of the LWCF Coalition, released a statement after the announcement of new legislation to permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund and implement provisions of the Restore Our Parks Act.
"ASLA believes that the public interest is best served by a collaborative place-based process that continues to produce federal projects that reflect the unique needs and values of each community and its citizens." - President Wendy Miller, FASLA
The TREES Act incentivizes tree-planting programs that bring down energy consumption while sequestering excess carbon that exacerbates the climate crisis.
"ASLA strongly opposes any attempts by the administration to weaken the NEPA... Weakening those protections in the midst of the global climate crisis is completely irresponsible," said Wendy Miller, FASLA, President of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
