What draws you to the field of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning? The opportunity to reconcile human landscape priorities with the needs of natural systems that sustain us and that are vulnerable to our landscape decisions. The opportunity to end the false dichotomy of "humans versus nature" and to embrace nature as an integral part of humanity and global human landscape. Can landscapes be both functional and beautiful? Sustainable and equitable? Resilient an...d dynamic? Our field offers a unique opportunity for strong, unprecedented collaborations between landscape science and practice to address these needs in the face of global climate change and exacerbating social and environmental injustice.
