FLO Hike FAQs

FLO Hike FAQs

We’re excited about the upcoming FLO Hike at the North Carolina Arboretum on June 26! We hope you’ll join us and wanted to answer a few frequently asked questions.

Is the hike difficult?

The two guided hikes will have frequent stops and last up to 1.5 hours each. The Carolina Mountain Trail is 1.2 miles long and listed as "moderate." But, over the course of 1.5 hours, “non-athletes” can enjoy it, barring they are not using a walker, wheelchair, or crutches.

NCASLA held our first ever fully virtual Conference on Landscape Architecture May 19th and 20th where we were greeted by excellent attendance and a very informative, enlightening and engaging series of speakers and an impressive collection of vendors in their virtual booths for membership to interact with. NCASLA would like to thank our event sponsors and vendors who attended for their support in a time when virtual interaction has become ubiquitous but still not the same as a traditional face-to-face conversation and networking opportunity.

Currently the NC Licensure and State Advocacy Committee has been tracking a couple of bills that have been introduced into the legislation which concerns our practice.

The first bill is House Bill 936 – Support for North Carolina Trails/Greenways. This bill will help fund Greenways and trails by providing funds to the Parks and Recreation Trust Fund. Using the iAdvocate network from ASLA, we have asked NCASLA members to write their representatives asking for their support for the bill.

We Need You For Virtual Advocacy Week

We Need You For Virtual Advocacy Week

It is busier than ever right now and work is abundant throughout the state, but what is it that enables landscape architects to do this work? Licensure!

Do you want to share your knowledge of Landscape architecture with your state representative and Senator?

This year due to the pandemic, the Licensure and State Advocacy Committee has decided to go virtual in our advocacy efforts. We invite you to participate during the first week of May. NCASLA will provide you with literature that highlight points relative to the main advocacy issues that are important to ASLA National.
