FAIRFAX, Va. – The National Association of Landscape Professionals’ (NALP) annual collegiate career event and competition, the National Collegiate Landscape Competition, will take place March 14-17 at Alamance Community College in Graham, North Carolina.

This year, more than 750 horticulture and landscape students from more than 60 schools will test their skills in 30 real-world, competitive events. They will also interview with landscape, lawn care, tree care, irrigation and other companies at the Career Fair, which takes place March 15. Limited booth space is still available, so companies can secure a booth at the event.

“This event each year is the best opportunity to support and connect with the next generation,” said Sabeena Hickman, CAE, NALP CEO.

The National Collegiate Landscape Competition relies on support from sponsors, including STIHL (Platinum); John Deere (Gold); Caterpillar, Gravely, Husqvarna, Kubota, Native, Level Green Landscaping and Greenscape (Silver); and Anchor, Aspire, Bartlett Tree Experts, Belgard, Bobcat, BrightView, Corona, Ewing, Hunter, Kawasaki, Proven Winners and the Toro Company (Bronze).
