CE Session, MASLA's First Annual, April 18th, 2008
On April 18th MASLA will host our first annual day-long program of continuing education. Feature presentations and panel discussions will take place prior to our Annual Awards Banquet. With an increased focus on the sustainability, our inaugural year’s topic is Native Plant Community Restoration. Experts will discuss seed source, seed mix design and plant selection, restoration design and layout, installation, and maintenance. Suppliers and vendors will be on site to discuss their services and products that will help us achieve our design goals. Landscape architects can earn up to 4 continuing education credits toward the 24 required by June 2008. This promises to be an exciting and informative event.

Continuing Education
MASLA maintains a relationship with the College of Design (formerly CALA) at the University of Minnesota's Twin Cities campus. The University is home not only to the Landscape Architecture program, but also several design centers and other groups that share an interest in landscape architectural issues.

The State of Minnesota requires that registered landscape architects participate in continuing education. A registered landscape architect must participate in 24 credit hours biennially. MASLA and the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture host many events which can qualify for continuing education credit. For further information on acceptable education credits, contact the Minnesota Board of Architecture, Engineering, Land Surveying, Landscape Architecture, Geoscience, and Interior Design.
