Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards

The Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards (CLARB) is a non-profit organization based in Reston, Virginia. It is a relatively small organization with 10 employees. CLARB serves landscape architects across the United States and Canada. Their primary function is to protect the public's health, safety, and welfare by setting and promoting professional licensure standards. They achieve this through the administration and scoring of the Landscape Architect Registration Examination (L.A.R.E.), which evaluates the competency of aspiring landscape architects. CLARB also manages the CLARB Council Record, a professional information system that allows landscape architects to track their education, experience, examination, and licensure history. This system streamlines the licensure process, both for initial licensure and for reciprocity between states. For more information about CLARB and its services, visit their website at clarb.org.
