Landscape Architecture Magazine wants pitches with a Climate Crisis frame

This is the magazine of the American Society of Landscape Architects, and they publish monthly. Their audience primarily comprises landscape architecture professionals and students in the US and abroad, as well as city planners. Their secondary audience is in allied professionals such as architects and engineers, but also decision makers such as politicians and public officials, university or corporate heads, real estate developers, regulators, and a wide spectrum of people who collaborate with landscape architects, such as scientists (botanists, ecologists), geographers, horticulturists, construction specialists, and product manufacturers. They want pitches on all aspects of the built environment – including designed landscapes, soil science, environmental justice, urban habitat, and rural equity, all with a Climate Crisis frame. See their extensive guidelines on what kind of pitches work for them, and which do not. Details here (Tweet) and here (contributor guidelines).
