SAGE have announced that they have become the home event for GRASS, a newly launched forum built by a group of groundcare industry specialists.

Taking place 6th and 7th July, SAGE say they will provide a platform for GRASS to introduce its objectives to the industry this summer.

GRASS stands for, Groundcare Resources & Sustainability Suppliers, and is the idea of Mark Tomlinson head of environmental and sustainability stadia projects at Bio-Circle.

The new networking and support forum is a free to join group that says it supports all groundcare and other sporting industry sustainability projects, providing free advice and knowledge of sustainable pitch care.

They say that grounds personnel, manufacturers and senior experts have come together to form a group that allows grounds staff to begin their own sustainability projects with support and advice.

Mark Tomlinson said, “By coming together and sharing knowledge GRASS can help and support groundcare personnel with their sustainability projects. We want to help and protect our environment and make a difference.”
