These two simple words convey a powerful concept for all of the lawn and landscape industry – manufacturers, distributors and contractors – to be sensitive to.
Various groups and individuals have driven the evolution of the environment into an emotionally political issue. Groups and initiatives across the country threaten to change how lawn and landscape contractors go about their work.
Despite lawn care’s increased political prominence, many contractors neglect to give the notion of environmental stewardship the thought that it deserves. Certainly, however, there are contractors all over the country who not only spend time thinking about what it means to operate in an industry that comes into such close contact with the environment but who ensure that their company exhibits the necessary daily concern for the environment.
In order to recognize the contractors who are true environmental stewards, AgrEvo Environmental Health is pleased to sponsor this inaugural Environmental Leadership Supplement to Lawn & Landscape magazine.
Profiled in the following pages are 10 individuals and organizations whose ongoing business management practices have indicated a thorough commitment to respecting and caring for the environment around us in a manner that bolsters the image of our entire industry. These are members of our industry who come from a variety of backgrounds and work in a variety of capacities to provide their customers with effective lawn and landscape services. These are also members of society who work in a range of areas and provide the environment with the care it requires for a healthy existence.
We at AgrEvo Environmental Health salute these true environmental stewards and encourage all industry personnel to remember that our work begins and ends with the environment around us.
Sincerely,
Michael McDermott
Business Group Director
