A final date for this presentation has not yet been set but it is expected to be open to the public. The landscape architects say they look forward to hearing the thoughts and comments of local residents. In St. Louis, the landscape architects' national convention is expected to be attended by over 4,000 landscape architects and other professionals in the Society's first member-wide gathering of the new millennium. The American Society of Landscape Architects, founded in 1899, represents more than 13,000 members nationwide. Landscape architecture is a comprehensive discipline of land analysis, planning, design, management, preservation and rehabilitation.
Landscape architects hold undergraduate or graduate degrees.
They are licensed to practice in 47 states and are required to pass a rigorous national three-day examination.
