This is America at 250: Let’s Celebrate the Plurality of Our American Heritage

Please join us for a webinar on preparing a Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS) report. The HALS mission is to record historic landscapes in the United States and its territories to serve as tangible evidence of our nation’s heritage and development. Documentation is critical to preserving historic landscapes for the benefit of future generations. This year, in recognition of our country’s 250th birthday, we have an open call for submissions that broadly address the theme of landscapes of liberty and freedom. During the seminar, our three speakers will shed light on selecting a site, the writing process, and the logistics of working with a team.

Speakers:

• David Driapsa, FASLA
  Historical Landscape Architect
• Sandra Shipley, ASLA, RLA
  HALS Committee Chair & Liaison, Texas Chapter
• Steve Venker, ASLA Emeritus
  HALS Co-Liaison, Arizona Chapter

Moderator:

• Allison Crosbie, ASLA
  ASLA HALS Leadership Team Co-Chair
