The noon event on 8.17.11 at the Phoenix Civic Space and downtown Tucson reached out to and educated many people about landscape architecture and what we do.  This effort coincided with events held in over 100 cities by other ASLA members across the nation at noon.  The public awareness campaigns held within Phoenix and Tucson were two of the 170 events nationwide. For more photos check out our gallery and facebook page.

Thank you to the energetic volunteers in Phoenix and Tucson who went out to support the national public awareness campaign joining landscape architects across the nation during the noon hour.  And double kudos to those volunteers who responded quickly and efficiently to the clean-up request within a few hours in Phoenix.  Your efforts of an exceptionally quick response were graciously noted by a public official.

Finally, our apologies go to the two or so firms in the Phoenix area that were contacted by their public sector clients regarding the spray chalk stenciling.  This was 2 firms too many to have received negative correspondences.  Apologies were sent to the jurisdictions and clean-up immediately followed.  Thank you for contacting AzASLA to alert us of the situation.
