Help TurfMutt Battle Dust Demon

Dust Demon is a fan of blowing away soil, and TurfMutt needs your help to stop him!

Dust Demon blows away soil causing big problems. Help TurfMutt defeat dust demon.

Soil erosion is a big problem and Dust Demon is the cause. Nearly six billion tons of bare soil wash or blow away each year. Dust in the air damages the environment – and causes physical problems for those with asthma and allergies.

Turfgrass is one of the best defenses against erosion and holds the soil better than any other plant because of its giant root system. Did you know that a single grass plant can have more than 300 miles of roots?
