Research

LACF invests in research that subscribes to the principles of the CSLA Canadian Landscape Charter and to the LACF mission of making positive and lasting contributions to our natural and built environments. Since its inception in 1988, LACF has invested over $500,000 to more than 150 research initiatives that challenge the bounderies of everyday practice and that have a distinctly Canadian focus.

Communication

LACF supports communication initiatives that advance the understanding of the fundamental values of the profession of landscape architecture. From helping to establish the award-winning CSLA magazine, Landscapes | Paysages to seed-funding Canadian publications and events about "landscape", LACF aims to spread the word by communicating widely.
