Park District temporarily lifts pesticide ban until they can . . . Weed Out the Problem
Highland Park, IL - Park District of Highland Park commissioners modified its turf management policies last week by allowing its grounds keepers to again deploy chemical pesticides and herbicides on its playing fields this fall.
Four years ago, the district banned such practices when it launched an Integrated Pest Management program. The progressive move was praised as a model among parks organizations leading a natural lawn-care movement.
Tom Breier taught his sons Tim, Dan and Mark that in business and in life it's important to give more than you receive. With a philosophy like that, it's not surprising that their family-owned business, National Seed Company, earned ILCA's Distinguished Service Award.
