The National Association of Landscape Professionals<\/a>, Fairfax, Virginia, and Project EverGreen<\/a>, Cleveland, Ohio, announce that NALP has endorsed the GreenCare for Troops program.<\/p>\n

GreenCare for Troops, managed by Project EverGreen, a 501c3 non-profit, celebrating its 15th year in 2021, provides complimentary basic lawn care and landscape maintenance services to military personnel with a deployed family member.<\/p>\n

NALP\u2019s endorsement expands the program to its 2,800 member companies, representing 200,000 landscape and lawn care professionals, and opens the door for more volunteers to provide services and bring healthy lawns and landscapes to military families in their time of need.<\/p>\n

Since the program\u2019s inception, more than 7,500 lawn and landscape professionals nationwide have provided free services such as mowing, shrub pruning, fertilization, weed control, fire ant services and other related services to deserving military families. To date, the value of the donated services exceeds $10 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur industry has a strong history of volunteer service and Project EverGreen, and GreenCare for Troops are great examples of the way that landscape and lawn care professionals make important contributions to their communities \u2013 one property at a time,\u201d says NALP CEO Britt Wood. \u201cThe focus on military families is a great compliment to the volunteer projects we do each year during Renewal & Remembrance at Arlington National Cemetery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGCFT is the perfect community service initiative for the lawn and landscape industry and one that the entire industry can get behind,\u201d says Cindy Code, Project EverGreen\u2019s executive director. \u201cThe GCFT program represents all the good benefits that the professional lawn and landscape industry offers in their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Landscape and lawn care professionals can register to volunteer or nominate a family to receive services by visiting the Project Evergreen website. Also, GCFT\u2019s sister program, SnowCare for Troops, provides complimentary snow removal services in the winter for eligible military families.<\/p>\n

When volunteers register for one or both programs, they can choose the number of families they are willing to help, how far they will travel to perform the service and specify what services they will provide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
