MIAMI – The National Hispanic Landscape Alliance (NHLA) launched a campaign to encourage landscape professionals to proclaim their pride in being “Green Collared.”
The NHLA is offering landscape professionals the opportunity to purchase a “Proud to be Green Collared, Making America MORE than Beautiful” bumper sticker for $5. All proceeds will go toward scholarships for students who plan to become a landscape professional.
“It’s time to celebrate landscape industry professionals across the country. They combine a passion for the outdoors, a commitment to environmental stewardship, an eye for natural beauty, and the knowledge and knack for creating and sustaining it,” said Pam Berrios, president of NHLA. “The Proud to be Green Collared campaign encourages green industry professionals to engage others in a conversation about how much they love what they do for a living and the important contributions they make to the well-being of the communities they serve.”
The Proud to be Green Collared campaign seeks to increase the awareness of the environmental and human health benefits of managed landscapes, and the professionals who envision, create and maintain the green spaces. There are many careers and a range of jobs in the landscape profession. The NHLA celebrates them all and invites them all to proclaim their pride in being Green Collard.
