This April, ASLA celebrates World Landscape Architecture Month (WLAM) with the theme Landscape Architecture in Action. The campaign highlights how landscape architecture transforms ideas into places that support health, climate resilience, and daily life.

From bustling urban waterfronts to neighborhood schoolyards and protected natural habitats, your work is in action every day. This April, ASLA invites all members to help make that impact visible.

How to Participate

The WLAM 2026 Toolkit includes weekly prompts, sample messaging, and downloadable logos to make participation easy.

  • Amplify Your Work
    Follow the weekly social media prompts (Design, Practice, Learning, Impact, and Leadership) and share your story. Use #WLAM2026 and tag ASLA on Instagram (@nationalasla) or LinkedIn (American Society of Landscape Architects) for a chance to be featured on ASLA's national channels.

  • Educate the Next Generation
    Use the AIA/ASLA classroom toolkit or ASLA Career Discovery resources to inspire students in your local community.

  • Advocate
    Request a local WLAM proclamation. On April 1, celebrate Professional Landscape Architects Day (PLA Day). Share your licensure journey and highlight how licensure protects public health, safety, and welfare.
