Founded in 1899, the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) serves over 17,000 members nationwide in 48 professional chapters and 68 student chapters.

The Society's mission is to lead, to educate, and to participate in the careful stewardship, wise planning, and artful design of our cultural and natural environments. It is committed to advancing the understanding and awareness of the role of landscape architects in developing environments that are creative, inspiring, functional and enjoyable.

The Hawai'i Chapter of ASLA combines those commitments with issues and initiatives that are closer to home.
