TPI NEWS
WHAT TO KNOW GRASS BANS ABOUND TPI is working with members in Utah and Colorado on three new grass bans that would limit grass on public property and incentivize homebuilders to NOT use grass in newly constructed homes. We will report more on this in the next issue of Turf News. If you hear of potential grass bans in your area, please notify Dr. Casey Reynolds at
CReynolds@TurfgrassSod.org or 847-737-1846.
