Deciding whether to install an artificial turf or natural grass playing field requires
serious consideration. The assessment should include a detailed analysis of
maintenance, safety and environmental impact. Responsible questions must be
asked and answered based on current and accurate data.
The Greenwich Sustainability Committee (GSC) and the Interreligious Eco-Justice
Network (IREJN) will partner to present a webinar on this
topic on Thursday, July 25, 2024 from 7:00 – 8:30 PM. It will feature both the
basics and recent findings about artificial turf and grass fields as well as
recommendations and guidelines for establishing and maintaining durable grass
playing fields.
The webinar features Susan Rudolph, a member of the Greenwich Sustainability
Committee who will present an overview of artificial turf vs. natural grass playing
fields, and Dr. Trey Rogers III who will discuss how to create and maintain
natural grass fields.
