The Oregon Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) announced its 2023’s and winners in November at the Design Awards Soiree.

The Recognition Awards celebrate the spirit of the landscape architecture profession in Oregon by recognizing people and organizations for their service to the profession, professional leadership, community leadership and careful stewardship.

The Design Awards program recognizes the firms, individuals and agencies responsible for outstanding works of landscape architecture and environmental planning in Oregon and beyond.

New this year was The Climate Champion Green ribbon. The ASLA Climate Action Plan calls for all landscape architecture projects to achieve zero embodied and operational emissions and increase carbon sequestration; provide significant economic benefits in the form of measurable ecosystem services, health co-benefits, sequestration, and green jobs; address climate injustices, empower communities and increase equitable distribution of climate investments; and restore ecosystems and increase and protect biodiversity.
