Become a landscape planner

Landscape Planners are the masterminds.

They look at the big picture for outdoor spaces, from rural communities to towns and cities. They make plans and implement strategies for how places will be developed over time, making sure everyone works together to create high quality landscapes. 

“I love being outdoors and understanding how natural and human forces shape the landscape and how we perceive it. I am always armed with my camera!”
