Who are ELA's Members?

We are diverse in many ways but united in common purpose. We:

• Believe in using landscaping practices that are environmentally safe;
• Believe that natural systems are the best guide for learning how to develop and maintain healthy landscapes;
• Value landscaping methods that are based upon scientific studies and practical experience;
• Are committed to educating ourselves and others about ecological landscaping methods; and
• Believe that a network of dedicated people can be a powerful agent for change.

Today, ELA has over 300 members throughout the United States and Canada, concentrated in the New England states, California, and in between. Members, who hold many and varied environmental ideals, attend ELA's educational events, including the popular annual ELA Conference held in conjunction with the Eco-Marketplace, which features environmentally sound products and services.

Benefits of Membership
