23rd Annual MiASLA / Contractors Golf Classic

The golf committee is actively planning the 23rd Annual MiASLA / Contractors Golf Classic, to be held at Mystic Creek Golf Club in Milford. 

Not only is this a great opportunity to network and enjoy a day in the sun, this event is a scholarship event, benefitting Michigan students in landscape architecture and horticulture.  The event is also a great time to honor a Landscape Architect, Landscape Contractor and Landscape Supplier.

Congratulations to all Michigan Landscape Architects on the passage of the Landscape Architecture Practice Act!

January 12, 2009, Governor Granholm signed HB 5025 and HB 5026 into law under Public Acts 490 and 491, thus regulating the practice of landscape architecture in the State of Michigan rather than merely protecting the right to use the title ‘landscape architect.’  Full licensure levels the playing field for Michigan Landscape Architects by eliminating a competitive disadvantage on a state, regional and national basis for related work and improves our economic businesses standing.
