List of professional landscape architecture organisations

National landscape architecture organisations have been established to support the profession around the world.[1][2][3] The American Society of Landscape Architects was established in 1899, helping to establish the profession in the United States.[4]: 56  Many of organisations are members of the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA), including groups established in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.[5]

Professional organisations offer networking opportunities for landscape architects and students, and also provide professional development.[6][3] These organisations also help develop policies and advance the profession through collective lobbying at the national, state, and local levels.[6] These organisations also encourage their members to acquire certification or licensure, and distribute educational information.[6] Many of these groups also sponsor awards.[6]
