On April 25, 2013, three Michigan ASLA representatives stormed Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. to advocate on behalf of all Michigan Landscape Architects. Trustee Vanessa Warren, President-Elect SuLin Kotowicz and ASLA Audit Committee Member Tom Mroz participated, visiting staff from Senators Stabenow and Levin’s offices, and staff from Congressmen Justin Amash, Dale Kildee and Kerry Bentivolio’s offices.
Four important policies were discussed, including Small Business Protection Act, the upcoming Innovative Stormwater Solutions Act, to be reintroduced by Senator Tom Udall and Rep. Donna Edwards, the upcoming Safe and Complete Streets Act, to be reintroduced by Rep. Doris Matsui, and Community Park Revitalization Act.
To learn more about these policies, vital to the work that Michigan Landscape Architects do, please visit ASLA’s website: http://www.asla.org/IAdvocate.aspx

Landscape architecture is a profession that blends creativity and science. Every day, landscape architects work to improve our communities and the environment, using their talents in planning, design and land‐use management. Projects that landscape architects design and contribute to include parks, urban design, residential developments, campuses, shopping centers, gardens, transportation facilities, corporate and institutional facilities and more. The profession became licensed in 2008 with Public Act 490.
