Profile: We are a chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architecture, uniting North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska. Working together, the Nebraska-Dakotas Chapter is able to expand the profession of Landscape Architecture throughout our states, and communities. We advance the profession by advocating the issues that affect our members. The chapter provides professional educational programs and generates overall awareness of landscape architecture through our public relations and government affair efforts.
