Wrap Up: Summer Field Day

About 100 NESTMA members enjoyed an information-packed day at NESTMA’s annual Summer Field & Turf Education Day entitled “Modern Sports Turf Management: Adapting to Change.” Hosted by the Town of Natick, Massachusetts at the beautiful Gardens at Elm Bank on July 31, 2019, the program featured trendsetting sponsor demonstrations and displays; an informative tour of the impressive soccer fields at Elm Bank led by Bob Dill of Bartlett; and future-focused presentations by both Gerald Henry, Ph.D. of the University of Georgia and Art DeGaetano, Ph.D. of Cornell. Talk about “adapting to change,” Art’s flights were canceled due to bad weather, so he made his presentation remotely without missing a beat!

All the latest equipment was on display at NESTMA’s Summer Field Day.

Dr. Henry’s presentation on Enhancing Athletic Field Safety was very well received.

Bob Dill got lots of questions about how he keeps the highly-used soccer fields at Elm Bank looking so great.
