Northeastern IPM Center
Turf Love Program (CCE Putnam Co.)

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Putnam County has begun its Turf Love Program, a county-wide program designed to get participating homeowners to protect water quality by learning and using lawn care IPM principles. The program consists of:

* Lawn Site assessment by Master Gardeners

* Soil nutrient analysis

* Turf Love Journal - a homeowner diary

* Best Management Plan

* Kick-off Saturday Workshop for participants

* Mid-summer contact by Master Gardeners

* Super Turf Saturday workshop at end of September .

We hope to expand the program next year to other counties. The program is partially supported by a New York State IPM Mini-grant
