Congratulations to the King Career Center students awarded for their conceptual bench designs for the Westchester Lagoon Nature Trail as part of the Anchorage Trails Initiative Schools on Trails Program. Alaska Chapter ASLA members Kevin Doniere, Jonny Hayes, Maeve Nevins and a host of community partners look forward to working with these talented students on the refinement of concepts for public presentation and ultimately, installation!

Thanks to members of Alaska Chapter ASLA, Bettisworth North Architects and Planners, Intrinsic Designs and Anchorage Parks and Recreation for creating some awesome Parklets. Special shout out to Green Earth Landworks for donating plants for the day. Also, thanks to SiteLines Park and Playground Products and Victor Stanley for their contributions to the parklet!

It’s that time of year to sign up for Northern Design courses to meet Professional Landscape Architect license requirements in the state of Alaska. Thanks to Dwayne Adams for his years of effort as a leader in Landscape Architecture and development of the Northern Design curriculum. UAA offers Northern Design for those interested in attending classes in Anchorage through their Engineering Science Department (Course: ES A411) and Arctic Engineering for remote/distance delivery
