UPCOMING RECEIVES EVENTS BEACON AWARD

April 15, 2025 MALP Dinner Meeting & Beacon Award 4: oo p. m. – 7:00 p. m. German Club • Walpole, MA
The role of irrigation management in landscape maintenance has evolved dramatically over the years. What once involved a simple bucket of tools for fixing sprinklers and leaky pipes has now become a tech-driven industry. This transformation is not only reshaping the way landscapes are managed but is also opening new opportunities for efficient and sustainable practices both globally and locally. This session will explore the reasons behind these changes and the opportunities for our industry moving forward.
