TURFMUTT
The TurfMutt Foundation, led by Mulligan the TurfMutt, continues to spread the message that nature starts at our back door. Landscapes Take Stage
your business with Yard Card Financing
BY CHRISTY NIELSON
TurfMutt, the environmental educational program founded by the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) in 2009, is a backyard ambassador for the landscaping and outdoor power equipment industry. Since its inception, the program has reached more than 70 million children, educators, and families through education partners such as Weekly Reader, Discovery Education, and Scholastic. Led by a rescue pup named Mulligan the TurfMutt, who was adopted by TurfMutt Foundation president and CEO Kris Kiser at the 2019 Mutt Madness adoption event, the TurfMutt Foundation continues to evolve in its mission to teach students, teachers, and the public how to “save the planet, one yard at a time.” “There’s no better way to engage kids with their own backyard than by having a dog lead the charge,” explained Kiser. “After all, who loves the yard more than the family dog?” He added, “From schoolyard makeovers and online lesson plans to a partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council, pet adoption events, and national television appearances, the TurfMutt Foundation message—nature starts at your backdoor—has been spread far and wide. There’s still more to be done, and we’re always looking for new ways to spread the word that taking care of and spending time in the green space around us is good for people, pets, and the planet.”
