Why Licensure Matters
Licensed landscape architects design, plan, and manage outdoor spaces that directly affect the public's health, safety, and welfare. Licensure ensures that practitioners have the knowledge and judgment to practice competently and ethically—and that they are accountable to the public through state regulation.
Strong licensure laws help prevent harm, support resilient and sustainable communities, and uphold the credibility of the profession.
As a recent graduate, I can honestly say that ASLA membership has been incredibly beneficial throughout my four years at the University of Maryland. It helped me build relationships with practicing professionals, explore different career paths, and grow my network. Attending both local and national events—especially the ASLA Conference—has deepened my understanding of the profession and opened my eyes to the many directions a career in landscape architecture can take. I definitely plan to continue my membership after graduation.
