Our Mission

American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA)

Founded in 1899, ASLA is the national professional association representing the landscape architecture profession. Beginning with 11 original members, ASLA has grown to represent more than 15,000 members in all 50 states. ASLA is dedicated to advancing the landscape architecture profession and enhancing the natural and built environments.  The Society’s mission is to empower members to design a sustainable and equitable world through landscape architecture.

ASLA California Sierra Chapter

Our chapter is one of four in the state of California, and one of forty-nine nationwide. Our membership is comprised of professionals spread over northeastern and central California, from the Oregon border down to Fresno, and from the Nevada state line west to one or two counties inland from the California coastline. Our mission as a Chapter is to inspire and empower our landscape architecture community, advance the art and science of the profession, and promote public welfare. To this end, our Chapter promotes the profession through excellence, integrity, diversity, leadership, and stewardship.
