Land8: Landscape Architects Network

I like the idea of a digital badge to put on your profile pic like some site overseers have the 8 logo in theirs

start start start 😀

start the competition ;))

i just feel in the right place thank you all.

Please use the group forum to post questions, discussion topics, and to setup study groups, etc.
 
Thanks!

I’m glad I bought it, for the test and for after.

Jeffrey,

Thanks Ray.  I am reading that book right now.  I also have Site Planning and Design Handbook by Thomas Russ
