To promote the transition from gas to battery powered tools, Cornell Cooperative Extension Monroe County (CCE Monroe) is offering a workshop featuring a short film with interviews of three different professionals in the landscaping industry and a presentation led by Antonius “TeJay” Chess Jr., CCE Monroe’s Natural Resources Educator. Cornell University, the University of Rochester, and R.M. Landscaping have joined efforts to create this informative workshop that explains the upfront cost, user friendliness, short-term and long-term results, and mechanical differences between gas- and battery-powered equipment.
The workshop will be held on Tuesday, October 11, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Wegman Lodge, Zoo Road, Rochester.
Local equipment dealers will be on site to provide further information, lead educational sessions on topics such as autonomous mowers, and will be available to answer any questions attendees may have.
The program is free to attend, but participants are asked to pre-register at https://apps.cce.cornell.edu/event_registration/main/events_landing.cfm?event=BatteryOperatedTools_226
