GOVERNOR CORZINE SIGNS
LEGISLATION
Governor Jon S. Corzine
signed the bill that raises Landscape Architects
from “title-only certification” to “practice
license” in New Jersey into law on September 6,
2008.
Officially known as
A-2146/S-1849,
Watson Coleman/Gordon revises regulation of
landscape architects.
The
Governor has accepted the approval of the state
Assembly and Senate, recognizing the profession as
an important component of the environmental, land
planning and development disciplines.
This momentous event in
New Jersey Landscape Architecture history is the
culmination of the highly principled performance of
past and existing certified landscape architects in
the Garden State and those active in this effort
through the NJASLA, ASLA and the Board of Architects
LAEEC. Gradually building momentum and progress over
approximately forty years, this milestone will
provide the basis for greater positive impact for
the profession as we enter a future of sustainable
and environmentally-responsible design and land use
decisions.
When hearing this news,
Roy H.
DeBoer, FASLA, CLA # 00001, Professor Emeritus of
Landscape Architecture / Rutgers University,
an icon both nationally and in New Jersey, declared
“Let’s use the new law effectively to
further “grow” the profession, as the leaders of
Environmental Design in New Jersey!”

WELCOME TO THE NJASLA WEBSITE.
The
NJASLA is the NJ Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects, a
national organization of Landscape Architects, formed in 1899. There are
currently over 17,600 members of the ASLA.
We hope this site helps you to learn more
about the profession of Landscape Architecture in New Jersey.
OUR NEW JERSEY CHAPTER:
The NJASLA works hard to provide local
services to NJ member Landscape Architects. Members are kept up to
date on important issues via monthly newsletters. Every year, the
members gather at the annual meeting, a three day event full of
seminars, continuing education and socializing. Last year’s event
enjoyed 690 attendees!
