I was just gonna post the same question but you beat me to the punch. Ive also been looking for study guides. The one that the USGBC recommends is super expensive. Maybe this website will be…[Read more]

Thanks for the recommendation, Wes.  $50 seems like a pretty good deal for seven practice tests and a 200+ page study guide.

I focused for a few weeks on the practice tests below, shooting for an average of 80% on all of them. It will let you know which topics you are weak on and then you can target those areas to perfect them.

Now its all coming back. I’m a recent college graduate from landscape architecture. Technicly I’m not a CLA but working on it. I also received a minor in GIS and thats where my career at the moment is taking me. Looking into getting a masters in urban planning pretty soon. How about yourself?

Thanks Dotty. Some LA do know trees =) I know this might be a dumb question but as I always say someones gotta ask it. I keep seeing this RLA term what does that mean?

They are rightfully really close, built houses, raised kids, vacation, mourn, and celebrate together. Us 2nd/3rd neighborhood generation…[Read more]

Ernst; Yes, I’ve been to this site.  Good information, but I didn’t find much direction on manufacturers there.  Thanks

That’s a new one I haven’t looked at before. Thanks!

Are there no US manufacturers of these products out there??

Wow! that is a cool site, Henry! Thanks for posting – the design of the site is outrageous, that in itself is worth it..
