OUR PARTNERS
The comments below are just a sample of the industry leaders who’ve partnered with Eco Turf Consulting to produce industry changing moments.
What Industry Leaders Say About Ken Benoit.
“Ken has been a successful turfgrass professional for over 2 decades and supt. for nearly 20 years, and an industry leader for the last 10 years in his service the MetGCSA. He was able to identify the mounting environmental pressure that was building against golf and water use and water quality protection, and went to work!
His leadership of the NYS BMP project, that published the first fully on-line collection of BMP’s, established the foundation of an expansive state-wide environmental stewardship program. This program has a new website, case studies, videos, publications, and now working to have all NYS Golf Facilities perform the GCSAA Facility-based BMP.
I hope the attention Ken is able to generate for this herculean effort shines a light on the good work under way on golf courses and educates on a sustainable path forward that is committed to preserving and protecting water quality and the golf course ecosystem.”
