INITIATIVES

Park(ing) Day and Mentorship Kickoff 2024

What a fabulous day for our WI ASLA Park(ing) Day event in Madison! Months of idea generation and planning with our Emerging Professionals and UW-Madison Student Chapter resulted in an engaging setup. We had countless people stop by to ask "what is this?!" and we got to tell them all about landscape architecture! The collaboration also created the perfect opportunity to kickoff our WI ASLA Mentorship Program for the 2024-2025 school year. What a great day! 

Park(ing) Day 2023

Park(ing) Day was a blast! The WI ASLA Emerging Professionals hosted the event on the UW-Madison campus near Memorial Union. This years theme was "Pollinator Places" so the group spent the day educating the public about pollinator communities, their habitats and how to assist in creating thriving ecosystems for them through landscape architecture and our everyday lives. Thank you to all our sponsors for supporting this effort by providing materials and financial assistance to make the event a success!
