The Oregon Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects is the state organization for landscape architecture professionals in Oregon.
With over 300 members statewide, we provide events, training, and advocacy for a range of topics that affect our profession throughout the state.
The ASLA vision is to lead the design and stewardship of land and communities. Our mission as landscape architects is to lead the stewardship, planning, and design of our built and natural environments. The Society’s mission is to advance landscape architecture through advocacy, communication, education, and fellowship.
Land Acknowledgement
ASLA Oregon acknowledges that the land included in the State of Oregon, upon which our Members practice landscape architecture, was and is the home of many tribes and bands of Indigenous and Native American people. We acknowledge the past systemic policies of genocide, relocation, assimilation and racism that still impact many Indigenous and Native American families today. ASLA Oregon values the collective work of many Confederated Tribes, Indigenous leaders, and Urban Native families who continually demonstrate the values of resilience, resistance, revitalization, healing, and creativity. Our Members recognize our role as guests on and stewards of these lands, and we thank the original protectors of this land for their care of it.
Please review Native Land Digital for more information on Oregon native nations and people.
BLACK LIVES MATTER.
ASLA Oregon recognizes that the profession and practice of landscape architecture in Oregon has been intertwined with and benefited from systemic racism, such as violent theft of land from Indigenous peoples, followed by abandonment of treaties, forced assimilation and termination. Additionally, a history of racist land use practices such as discriminatory zoning, redlining, and restrictive neighborhood covenants harmed many people of color and still has an impact today.
ASLA Oregon is committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment that fosters respect, fairness, and integrity for all whom participate in chapter activities and events. ASLA Oregon members, sponsors, presenters and guests should maintain the highest standards of personal conduct and refrain from engaging in discrimination or harassment.
