BSLA Fieldbook
Part ideas magazine, part Design Awards catalog, BSLA’s annual Fieldbook is intended to explore, catalyze, and advance issues and ideas of landscape architecture, as we celebrate the landscape architecture community of Massachusetts and Maine.
CLIMATE
The Latest Issue (and the next issue, too!)
Biodiversity is shrinking as we face a warmer, wetter world; global and local impacts of climate change permeate our news, our work, our days. The grand project of landscape architecture is – and always has been – embracing environmental change while creating spaces for health, joy and living. The next issue of Fieldbook explores perspectives at the intersection of landscape architecture and climate action.
…and introducing Fieldday! New England’s Conference on Landscape Architecture
Fieldday 2026 took place Friday, May 1 at the David Rubenstein Treehouse at Harvard University.
Fieldday is the annual conference for landscape architects and design and construction professionals across our region.
Horticulturalists, arborists, architects, engineers, planners, developers, policy makers, academics, green industry leaders; practitioners who create residential gardens to regional parks, outdoor spaces large to small; urban to rural, forest to meadow, river to coast…
All who design, make, and care for landscape architecture in New England: this is for you.
