ASLA considers Research Reports to be important contributions to a necessary and ongoing dialogue within a large and diverse community of landscape architecture researchers and practitioners. ASLA oversees a peer review process for all reports to ensure accuracy of content. Each author offers a unique perspective on the practice area covered, reflecting his or her portfolio of professional experiences. ASLA Research Reports are a product of the ASLA Fund, and all reports are available for free to ASLA members. ASLA Research Reports are also a convenient and affordable way to earn the professional development hours (PDH) needed to meet state licensure requirements. Each report enables you to earn Landscape Architecture Continuing Education System (LA CES)-approved PDH by completing and passing a self-study exam. ASLA members may download reports for FREE and purchase access to the exams to earn PDH via learn.asla.org. Non-members may purchase access to reports and exams via learn.asla.org.
