Nevada Landscape Association offers Reno conference to encourage best management practices
The Nevada Landscape Association Annual Conference and Trade Show, co-sponsored by the Nevada Department of Agriculture, University of Nevada Cooperative Extension and City of Reno Urban Forestry Commission, will be held on Wednesday February 4, 2015 at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center.
Members and non-members can register for classes on a variety of topics such as arborist training, irrigation, nursery, and pesticide training sessions. Certified Arborists, Landscape Technicians, and Licensed Pesticide Applicators can receive continuing education credits towards keeping their certifications current while learning about the latest about new technologies, products, and advances in industry practices.
“The Landscape Association consists of qualified landscape professionals who are among the top people in their field,” said Sara Anderson, president of NLA. The NLA is all about professionalism in the Green Industry, serving its members, and increasing public awareness about correct landscape practices.
The Nevada Landscape Association was founded in 1990 by a small group of Northern Nevada Green Industry professionals who shared some concern over the growing landscape industry and had the foresight to unite as a single voice for local landscape businesses. Currently, there are over (60) members which include licensed landscape contractors, lawn care operators, nurseries, landscape architects, retailers, suppliers, public agencies, and individuals.
