To help place students in positions to be policy changemakers, ASLA has created a new Student Policy Internships resource that highlights policy opportunities.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) announced awards for wildlife crossing projects. These funds will help reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions to protect both motorists and biodiversity.

ASLA submitted written testimony to Congress. The recommendations are in response to the House Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment stakeholder hearing on the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA).

The ASLA Board of Trustees approved six policies related to licensure—Professional Licensure, Definition of Practice, Qualifications for Licensure, Reciprocity, Enforcement, and Post-Nominal Letters. They also approved updates to the policy on Climate Change and Resilience and a brand new policy on Biodiversity.

This rule revised the January 2023 rule text that is invalid post-Sackett, including references to the significant nexus standard, wetlands, and streams, as well as revised the definition of adjacent to mean “having a continuous surface connection.”
