American Society of Landscape Architecture

Today the National Endowment for the Humanities announced that it has awarded the Landmarks of American History and Culture award to the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Fund. The $190,000 competitive grant will be used for an environmental humanities workshop with 72 K-12 educators to be selected from around the country. 
 
The design-centered workshops will provide an instructional framework that reflects the interdisciplinary research and work of environmental studies emerging within the humanities. 
 
Expert instructors will guide lesson plans on Green Building, Climate Resiliency, Design Sustainability and Diversity-Equity-Inclusion-Justice. Close examinations of each theme will position educators and their students to learn both design and nature-based perspectives in the study of humanities.
