On Thursday, July 25 from 7:00 - 8:30pm there will be a Zoom presentation on artificial turf vs natural grass playing fields, entitled, "Play It Safe."
The webinar is the result of a partnership between the Greenwich Sustainability Committee and the Interreligious Eco-Justice Network (IREJN).
The webinar will be moderated by Terri Eickel, Executive Director of IREJN.
The webinar 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.
