Mission Statement
The Ohio Chapter of the ASLA Climate Action and Biodiversity Committee's mission is to increase awareness of the growing issues related to climate change and its projected impacts on our local economy, environment, and quality of life. We seek to provide landscape architects with the resources and education needed to implement the ASLA Climate Action Plan, enhance Ohio’s native ecosystems, mitigate climate change impacts, and foster sustainable practices that benefit both our communities and the environment.
