The British Association of Landscape Industries

The Geoffrey Chalk Memorial Fund Travel Scholarship, managed by the British Association of Landscape Industries, is an unrivalled opportunity for a talented and enthusiastic landscaper or landscaping student to travel, with the intention of broadening their landscaping horizons and passing on their newly found knowledge and experience to others within the sector.
