About
United by Nature Organic Pilot Projects give grounds teams the tools and training they need to manage lawns, sports fields, and landscapes organically - protecting both people and the places we love. Participating institutions are proving it's possible to care for the environment, conserve resources, and keep grounds looking pristine. Benefits of organic land care include:
Healthier Soil
Retain more water, store carbon, and reduce long-term maintenance costs to create a more resilient ecosystem.
Protect Nature
Keep the wildlife and nature that surrounds your campus safe from runoff and contamination.
Stronger Aesthetics
Improve the beauty of lawns and landscapes with more sustainable methods of care.
Our Process
You don't need synthetic fertilizers and pesticides to keep your grounds looking pristine. Our Organic Pilot Program gives your grounds teams the tools and training they need to protect both people and the places we love.
By joining this program, you can be part of a growing network of institutions transforming the way landscapes are cared for and proving beautiful lawns and sustainable practices go hand in hand.
