SW Ohio APWA Mowing/Landscaping/Pesticide Management Roundtable

Come participate in a roundtable geared towards how agencies are managing their mowing program, landscaping, and pesticide management. Find out what it takes to staff and equip each program. What training and certifications are required. What does their landscaping program look like. Hanging street baskets, medians, roundabouts, interchange ramps. Do they have a street banner program. Do any of the agencies have their own greenhouses where they start their plants. Do they maintain rights-of-way, parks and facilities using pesticides and fertilizers. What types of equipment they are using. How are the agencies purchasing the equipment; Sourcewell, ODOT, Ohio Buys or any other sources. How long do they keep their equipment in service and do they sell, auction or trade the equipment. Hear what the mechanics do to keep the equipment in service. How are they using the staff on off-season. Be prepared to hear from your peers and ask questions. This roundtable will be very interactive and a great place to make connections in the field you may be responsible for.
