A particularly satisfying aspect of my work is celebrating the role of our next generation of landscape architects as integral in defining the character of our national forests and grasslands, a sense of place, through what we build, where we build and how we maintain our sites. We are really only borrowing these public lands, and so it¡¯s critical for younger professionals to help set a framework for their use. ??Matt Arnn, PLA, ASLA
