FREDERICK, Md. - Philip Catron, president and founder, NaturaLawn of America, testified for the Congressional hearing for the Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform and Oversight of the Committee on Small Business of the United States House of Representatives in Washington D.C.
The hearing entitled, “Small Business Creating Jobs and Protecting the Environment” took place on April 22 at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington D.C. NaturaLawn of America was the only nationally known lawn care company invited to testify. Catron’s testimony to the House Representatives and Congress explored environmentally friendly lawn care alternatives for homeowners and businesses.
Catron's presentation highlighted barriers, developments and growths faced by NaturaLawn of America. He also showcased the main philosophy of organic-based lawn fertilization. This concept is used in conjunction with an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program as opposed to traditional chemical fertilizers and unnecessary applications of synthetic pesticides, according to Catron.
Providing testimony along with NaturaLawn of America, was the Small Business Association, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Aquapoint and EvCo.
