Florida’s lawn care and landscape professionals are seriously passionate about the environment! We’ve established the Environmental Research & Education Foundation (EREF) to better fund research and education on the environmental and human-health benefits of healthy lawns, landscapes, and greenspaces.
We hope you enjoy this straight talk on how you can do your part to protect Florida’s environment. When it comes to your Florida lawn and landscape, LIVING GREEN is more than just a color or a slogan — it’s a way of life.
The Environmental Research & Education Foundation (EREF) works to protect Florida’s environment and natural resources through the funding of environmental research and the sharing of sound scientific findings on the environmental and human-health benefits of properly maintained greenspaces and urban landscapes.
