Abstract/Contents:"The objectives of this project were to reduce the amount of nitrogen and other pollutants entering waterways, and to improve knowledge of sound horticulture practices for healthier landscapes. This was accomplished by teaching landscape best management practices to the landscape maintenance industry. A 2-hour class was developed. Power Point modules taught proper landscape practices, equipment maintenance, and storage procedures to reduce or prevent non-point source pollution during landscape maintenance activities. Pre- and post-tests were administered using TurningPoint Technology and there were 20 multiple choice questions. Vehicle decals were given to those passing the exam. Decal holders committing violations are given an automatic fine without warning. Six classes have been taught with 213 attendees. Passing rate (must obtain 75% correct) was 98%. Passing rate of 98% shows they have gained the knowledge to prevent or reduce pollutants entering waterways by using sound horticultural practices and proper equipment maintenance and storage."
