For one full day, students will experience the working world of landscape architecture by spending time with professionals. This annual event serves as a mutual learning experience made possible by the support of professionals like you. This coming year's event will be in person (yay!) and will take place in offices in Eugene, Portland, and Bend.

Climate Action Committee
ASLA Oregon is establishing a committee to focus on Climate Action for our local chapter. In 2022, we partnered with the Washington and Alaska Chapters for a webinar 'Restitching Communities with Landscapes: Climate Justice Strategies in the Pacific Northwest'. We are building on this work and provide a platform for our local landscape architecture community to learn and lead on climate with a specific focus on Oregon-specific issues.
We are looking for practitioners, educators, and students from across Oregon to join this group. The committee will reflect the key issues and opportunities and set the agenda for on-going activities around climate action including educational events and resources.
We will also select from the group a Climate Action Committee Chair, which will be a new member of ExCom that will regularly report on the group to the larger leadership of the chapter.
We will be connecting these state-wide activities to other regional collaborations in the North Pacific Region, and the larger ASLA National Climate Action Committee, and the Climate Action Plan which were unveiled at the Annual meeting in San Francisco on November 12th.
