THE WINTER LAWN CARE CONFERENCE IS AN ANNUAL EVENT co-sponsored by UMass Extension and the Massachusetts Association of Lawn Care Professionals (MALCP). This seminar is an excellent opportunity for professionals who work in the landscape and lawn care industries to attend an educational session during the off-season. 2009 Winter Lawn Care Conference attendees had the option to choose one of two education tracks: Business or Technical. The theme of the Technical Track was Environmental Protection, with a focus on protecting water and managing invasive plants. Pesticide recertification contact hours were available in the Technical Track for all New England states. All attendees were invited to attend an on-site trade show.

Who should attend the Winter Lawn Care Conference? Lawn, landscape, municipal and sports turf professionals and associated staff who want to learn more about cutting-edge concepts and current issues facing the industry. Business owners and managers who want to learn from the best of their colleagues and make their businesses thrive. Anyone interested in ecologically sound, economically feasible turf management.
