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.
Represent the voice of landscape architecture
Through strategic partnerships, advocacy efforts and the development of licensure defense resources, we ensure that the voice of landscape architecture is represented in ongoing discussions on licensing reform, regulatory changes and professional standards. Our goal is to preserve licensure while upholding the rigorous qualifications and ethical standards that define the profession.
We encourage everyone in the landscape architecture community to use these materials to promote responsible regulation of landscape architecture, ensuring that qualified professionals continue to meet the needs of the communities they serve.
