Good afternoon fellow planners,
 
The Utah State University’s Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning annual Sustainable Landscapes Conference is taking a bold new step this year to encourage involvement from professionals across the state and region – we are issuing a Call for Papers.
 
Through this call, this year’s conference is seeking to bring together a cross-section of participants concerned with designing, planning, educating, and building healthy communities in the Intermountain West. We are excited to announce three, excellent keynote speakers that will support our efforts this year:
 
Dee Merriam, “Making Healthy Choices Easy Choices”
Robert Hoover, “East Meets West: The Art and Science of Therapeutic Gardens” and
Robin Moore, who is an international authority on user needs research and participatory-based open space design. 
 
To learn more about the conference and our call for papers, please see our newly updated website: www.laep.usu.edu/htm/sustainable-landscapes.
 
Please note the submission due date for your abstracts is no later than March 5th.
 
We look forward to seeing each of you at our conference this year!
 
Cheers,
Lindsay Ex
