About the Charter

This landscape charter affirms our role and commitment to the recognition, valuation, protection, planning, and sustainable design and management of the landscapes in which we live. It is an expression of the values that guide our practice and complements the Canadian Landscape Charter ratified by the CSLA and adopted by the NWTALA in 2015. Each of the eight core values identified in the Charter is supported by a practice philosophy that we strive to incorporate in our work.
