BSLA/Boston Society of Landscape Architects

April is World Landscape Architecture Month... Join us online as we kick off the month with our annual BSLA Town Hall. BSLA Town Hall Monday, April 1 7:30 - 8:30pm ET By Zoom. Free. ??Register: https://lnkd.in/evfC_bmu This virtual event invites all in the landscape architecture community of Maine & Massachusetts: ASLA members & non-members, newcomers & longtime leaders, students & builders & colleagues & friends. Looking back and looking ahead, we will celebrate highlights of the past year, touch on BSLA essentials, share news from ASLA national, and preview activities and initiatives in the works throughout our region. We'll share the priorities that were emphasized in our annual survey, too. (The survey is still open. Tell us what matters to you via the link in bio). What's on your mind? There will be time for Q&A and open dialogue. . . . Every day, landscape architects transform spaces, shape communities, and drive meaningful change. But behind every successful project and innovation is a network of support—an ecosystem of collaboration, learning, and shared growth. We invite you to take this moment with us to ask questions about the BSLA ecosystem, to review where we've been recently and to discuss where we are and we we're going, together.
