The MGG Lawn &amp; Land Forum is a collaboration between MPAC and the <a href="http://www.ilstma.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Illinois Sports Turf Managers Association</a> and supported by the <a href="http://www.ncipmc.org/partners/wgroup/lawn_land.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">North Central IPM Center</a> to document, summarize, and improve the state of Integrated Pest Management and Natural Lawn Care policies and practices locally, regionally, and nationally. All summaries, findings, and resources developed from this forum will remain open source to turf managers, policymakers, and individuals interested in applying IPM policies and programs to their work (see <a href="http://www.ilstma.org/newsletter.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">bit.ly/LLFresources</a>).
