Since its founding in 1966, LAF has convened leading minds in landscape architecture to identify priorities and strengthen the discipline to meet weighty environmental, social, and economic challenges.

In the last 10 years, three initiatives have served to set the course and galvanize landscape architects and allies to pursue actionable change on climate change, biodiversity loss, and inequity.

LAF is grateful to the many individuals and organizations that provide financial support towards fulfilling our mission to support the preservation, improvement, and enhancement of the environment.

Much of what LAF is able to accomplish would not be possible without the thought leadership and financial investment of our major supporters, including ASLA, which provides over $125,000 of in-kind support annually.
