Since 2008, the host chapter of the ASLA Annual Meeting and EXPO has been charged with undertaking a Legacy Project, aimed at working with high school students to design and install a project after the ASLA Annual Meeting. The Legacy Project is made possible each year through donations from EXPO exhibitors, who provide products and plants to ASLA, allowing each chapter the opportunity to give back to the host city. ILASLA’s approach to the Legacy Project is through education, teaching students about the landscape architecture process, from concept development through installation.The Legacy Project Committee also works closely with the local chapter of the ACE Mentorship program, whose mission is to engage, excite and enlighten high school students to pursue careers in architecture, engineering, and construction. The 2015 Legacy Project Committee is co-chaired by Mary Patton and Nikolas Davis.
