Licensure ensures landscape architects meet rigorous standards to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public and the environment. Explore why licensure matters, how CLARB develops standards that support consistent, defensible and accessible requirements and the ways we advocate for and defend landscape architecture licensure.
Why licensure matters
Licensure is more than a credential — it’s a promise of professional excellence, public trust and environmental responsibility. Earning your license can unlock new opportunities, elevate your career and demonstrate your commitment to designing healthier, more sustainable communities.
Our role in standards development
CLARB is committed to advancing licensure and professional standards to ensure landscape architects are qualified to protect public health, safety and welfare. Through collaboration with licensure boards, professionals and industry experts, we develop model licensure policies, regulations and practice standards that promote consistency, fairness and mobility in the licensure process.
Defending licensure in the public's interest
CLARB is committed to supporting and defending landscape architecture licensure to protect public health, safety and welfare. As regulatory landscapes evolve, we work to ensure that licensure remains fair, accessible and reflective of the profession’s critical role in shaping the natural and built environment.
