The National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) hosted their annual Renewal & Remembrance event at Arlington National Cemetery.

 

This year's event was completed by 200 landscape professionals that applied lime, cultivated soil, planted trees and flowers, placed tree rings and lightning protection to trees, and updated irrigation and hardscape projects. The American Disabled Veterans for Life Memorial received more than 10,000 trees and plants around the entire memorial.

"Renewal & Remembrance is a powerful opportunity to give back to our nation's veterans," said Britt Wood, CEO of NALP. "Many landscape professionals are veterans, so these opportunities to give back to our military community by caring for memorial green spaces is especially important."
In its 28th year, the event was sponsored by Stanley Black & Decker and received significant assistance from Aspire, STIHL, and Caterpillar.
