A new online course offered by the University of Minnesota aims to help practitioners successfully install and manage roadside turfgrass. The course provides a series of lessons on salt-tolerant turfgrasses and low-input turfgrass management for contractors, maintenance operators, and engineers.
The course, offered through the U of M’s College of Continuing and Professional Studies, costs $30. It also counts as one credit in the Minnesota Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Roads Scholar Program.
The course was developed by Extension Turfgrass Science at the University of Minnesota with funding from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and the Minnesota Local Road Research Board (LRRB). The course incorporates findings from research funded by MnDOT and the LRRB in recent years.
