Landscape Architecture Foundation
The mission of the Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) is to support the preservation, improvement, and enhancement of the environment. Through its leadership and philanthropic activities, LAF advances the body of knowledge and supports innovative projects and initiatives needed not only for the landscape architecture discipline but for the many other individuals and organizations who share LAF’s mission and are critical to its success. LAF invests in research, scholarships, and leadership initiatives to increase the capacity and impact of the landscape architecture discipline.

Center for Resilient Cities and Landscapes
The Center for Resilient Cities and Landscapes (CRCL) at Columbia University uses planning and design to help communities and ecosystems adapt to the pressures of urbanization, inequality, and climate uncertainty. CRCL works with public, nonprofit, and academic partners to deliver practical and forward-thinking technical assistance that advances project implementation through interdisciplinary research, visualization of risk, project design scenarios, and facilitated convenings. CRCL integrates resilience thinking into design education and academic programming, bringing real-world challenges into the classroom to train future design leaders.

American Society of Landscape Architects
Founded in 1899, the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) is the professional association for landscape architects in the United States, representing more than 15,000 members. The Society’s mission is to advance landscape architecture through advocacy, communication, education, and fellowship. Sustainability has been part of ASLA’s mission since its founding and is an overarching value that informs all of the Society’s programs and operations. ASLA has been a leader in demonstrating the benefits of green infrastructure and resilient development practices through the creation of its own green roof, co-development of the SITES® Rating System, and the creation of publicly-accessible sustainable design resources.

The Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture (CELA) works to further the content and quality of education in landscape architecture specifically related to teaching, research/scholarly works, and service. CELA is composed of over 120 institutions and individuals, including nearly all the programs of higher learning in landscape architecture in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. CELA publishes research through its refereed Landscape Journal, holds an annual conference, and engages in other activities to generate and diffuse knowledge.
