Maintenance Roundtable: Summer Field and Lawn Maintenance

Spring has sprung, and summer is here with a vengeance. With the heat turned up, how do you manage your fields and lawns this summer to meet the demands of fall athletics and unpredictable weather? In this Maintenance Roundtable, we have invited Jeff Fowler and Matt Duncan to talk about summer maintenance for athletic fields and park lawns. This session will focus on maintaining optimal conditions this summer and what should be done to ensure the grass surfaces are healthy and safe for athletes and park users. Participants can also ask questions and share resources during this facilitated discussion. Join us on July 18 at noon (Eastern) for this informative roundtable discussion.
