Planning is under way for landscape architects, students, and related professionals to again take to the streets, parks, and plazas to engage the public in conversations about the profession. On 04.26.12, we will all publicly celebrate Frederick Law Olmsted’s birthday. By once again taking to the streets from coast to coast, volunteers will tell the public why their profession matters, just as they did on 08.17.11.

The sessions are taught by Matt Mathes, ASLA (PPI Author of study guides used in 49 states).

Each session is offered at the amazing price of $60/section for LCASLA members, and $100 each for non-members. This cost also includes the review book for each section published by Professional Publications, Inc:

LARE Review Section A Practice Problems:  Project and Construction Administration (LAAPP2), 2nd Edition

LARE Review Section B Practice Problems:  Inventory, Analysis, and Program Development (LABPP2), 2nd Edition

* While the LARE exam format will change in 2012 for Sections C, D and E, the format will not change for Sections A & B
