TurfMutt

Hello and Welcome to TurfMutt.com!

This site is inspired by Lucky, a.k.a. TurfMutt, a rescue dog who has turned “caped crusader,” Out to Save the Planet, One Yard at a Time. With his love of yards, parks, forests and green spaces, TuffMutt is the face and inspiration for a national educational effort to showcase the environmental, economic and lifestyle benefits of grass, parks, landscapes and other natural areas.

On the My Story page, read more detail on how Lucky was found. On the Rescue Work page learn how to help other animals, and ways to post your own dog’s rescue story.

One exciting TurfMutt activity is the national, educational science curriculum for 3rd through 5th graders provided by Weekly Reader and the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute’s Education and Research Foundation. TurfMutt is the “face” of the program.

As the Caped Crusader, TurfMutt helps battle the forces of evil (Carbon Creep, Dr. Runoff, Heatfreak and Dust Demon) by showing how yards and green spaces help keep our air and water cleaner and cooler. See the educational materials and learn more on the @School page.

Also, sign up for TurfMutt’s blog about the latest developments on green spaces and what you need to know to keep them healthy, strong and working hard. Don’t forget, you can find TurfMutt on Facebook and follow him on Twitter.

Thanks for stopping by!
