Each of us bring unique abilities to our profession. Preserve, protect and enhance our environment through a successful marriage of mankind with nature. ASLA, CELA and CLARB are some of the vehicles for continued positive change through professional involvement. A unified position of core elements by these organizations (and grass root support) is essential to enhancing the respect of the profession. Professional involvement, support and education are required to further public trust, understanding and respect of the profession.

Doing the "right thing" for the environment, our community and our fellow man has never been more important than right now!"
