Our mission is to educate planners and landscape architects about planning and design policies, concepts, and practices that meet human, social and economic needs while respecting the ecological integrity of the environment. We do this through an integrated program of teaching, research, and outreach using the New England landscape as a laboratory for inquiry and instruction. We serve the strategic growth and management interests of the larger region, the Commonwealth, and its local cities and towns.
