Congress needs to hear from you!

UPARR is Back! ASLA members are encouraged to use the Advocacy Network to urge their legislators to co-sponsor H.R. 3734, the Urban Revitalization and Livable Communities Act. This measure would provide grants for the creation, rehabilitation, and maintenance of parks and recreational spaces. The legislation includes several provisions that could utilize the skills of landscape architects. H.R. 3734 is meant to replace the now “defunct” Urban Parks and Recreation Recovery (UPARR) program.

Currently ASLA members have sent 237 messages to their members of Congress. However, more advocacy efforts are needed – please send your message today!
