About

The Wisconsin Landscape Contractors Association (WLCA) state organization was formed in 1970. Over the years the makeup of the Association has changed and is currently comprised of three chapters that represent members across the state.

 

Membership is open to any firm that is actively engaged in landscape contracting, maintenance or related horticultural services. In addition, any firm actively engaged as a supplier to the landscape industry is eligible for membership.

 

The mission of WLCA is to promote growth, environmental awareness and professionalism of the landscape industry for the benefit of our communities.

 

The artistic and practical applications of the landscape profession require more than skilled craftsmanship. Landscape contractors are not only accountable to clients, but also to the government, the media, the general public and peers. The end result of the landscape contactor’s ideas and highly skilled efforts are on daily display. Landscape contractors cannot practice their profession within a self-serving vacuum. They must learn, develop, promote and share the special talents which are so unique to our industry. An association pools resources, shares experiences and improves skills to produce an important service profitably.

 

Through organized seminars, conferences and meetings, landscape contractors can keep pace with the perceived image of the green industry and, if necessary, effect changes that will best serve the interests of the landscape contracting profession and the public.

 

WLCA is a member of the Landscape Association Executive Council of the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) which entitles members to exchange ideas and pertinent information with other state associations across the country.

 

WLCA has chapters located in Fox Cities and Metro Milwaukee. There is also a Member at Large status which covers those not served by a local chapter. Each chapter plans its own meetings to meet the needs of their area members. Each chapter is represented by two representatives to the WLCA State Board of Directors.

 

Working cooperatively with WLCA State and NALP, local chapters are able to meet local, state and national industry challenges and opportunities that the 21st century will present.

Collectively, we have credibility, persuasive influence and meaningful opportunities to be the very best we want to be!
