NALP to Improve Arlington National Cemetery, National Mall

This year’s event is expanding to the National Mall for the first time

“We must cultivate our garden,” Voltaire famously advised. That will happen on a large scale July 19 when hundreds of landscape industry professionals convene at Arlington National Cemetery and the National Mall, volunteering during one of their busiest times of the year, to protect the historic cherry trees, enhance the turf and improve irrigation systems.

This year marks the 25^th anniversary of the Renewal & Remembrance event, organized by the National Association of Landscape Professionals. It has heightened significance because it’s the first in-person event NALP has hosted since January 2020.

“These two green spaces are two of the most public and important green spaces we have in the U.S.,” said NALP CEO Britt Wood. “Our members feel like it’s an opportunity to give back, and it’s an honor for them. It’s a way to supply their expertise to a great part of America.”
