About Cela
The Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture is composed of virtually all of the programs of landscape architecture in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The members of the faculty of these institutions are invited to participate in the Council.
The Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture can trace its beginnings to 1920, and for more than seventy years has been concerned with the content and quality of professional education in landscape architecture. CELA publishes the highest quality research conducted in the profession through its refereed publications, the Landscape Journal and the electronic journal, DesignNet. The Landscape Journal's editorial office can be contacted at landscapejournal@esf.edu, 315-470-6539, FAX 315-470-6540.
