The 2025 Florida Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Annual Conference took place along the scenic shores of Ponte Vedra Beach, where Cotleur & Hearing proudly continued its tradition of thought leadership and professional development. This year’s theme, "Nature’s Course: Finding Balance in Changing Tides," highlighted the evolving relationship between ecology, economy, and community, and the vital role landscape architects play in navigating that dynamic terrain.
A proud moment for Cotleur & Hearing came when Leah Heinzelmann, past president of ASLA Florida and a valued partner at the firm, was honored with the prestigious ASLA Florida Service Award. This recognition celebrates Leah’s years of dedicated leadership, advocacy, and meaningful contributions to the profession across the state. Her unwavering commitment to elevating landscape architecture and mentoring the next generation has left a lasting impact.
With sessions focused on resilience, innovation, and advocacy, the conference offered a powerful platform to explore how design can bring balance to our shifting world, all while reconnecting with friends and colleagues. Cotleur & Hearing remains dedicated to shaping a future that respects natural systems, uplifts communities, and strengthens the landscape architecture profession for generations to come.
