I am Brendan August and I serve as Landscape Architect for VHB, an engineering, landscape architecture, environmental services, and planning firm with four offices and more than 100 employees in the Commonwealth of Virginia. We provide landscape architecture services along the East Coast from Maine to Florida—in all states, this profession is regulated by the state. I perform landscape architecture work every day in designing infrastructure projects.
I am urging the Board to continue licensure for Landscape Architects in Virginia for the following reasons:
Protection of Public Health, Safety, and Welfare
Fair Competition and Economic Impact
