Mike has been involved with landscape education for over 30 years, from the perspectives of teaching practice, curriculum review, and the development of accreditation processes at national and international levels. He chaired the IFLA APR accreditation panel which undertook a pilot review of the landscape programme at Bogor in Indonesia to confirm the suitability of a regional accreditation system for the APR.

Mike has travelled extensively in our region, having been lucky enough to have spent time in the amazing landscapes of each of our 14 member associations and looks forward to seeing all of his colleagues in South Korea at the World Council meeting and Congress later this year!
