Discovery Education and the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute’s Education and Research Foundation announce the launch of TurfMutt, an online, science based program designed to help elementary educators teach an appreciation of backyard and community green spaces and landscapes.  Check out the new face of TurfMutt with Discovery Education at http://turfmutt.discoveryeducation.com/homepage.cfm

The goal of the TurfMutt program is to set kids on a path of scientific discovery about the  environmental and lifestyle benefits of our every day green spaces – our parks, lawns and landscapes – and provide elementary school teachers with a fun, engaging way to teach their students about the role of green, growing plants, but most importantly, the role of water conservation and environmental stewardship.
