CCLA JOINS THE GREEN INDUSTRY ALLIANCE

In December 2024, CCLA joined the Green Industry Alliance. Working with the association’s legislative agents Stephen Boksanski and Warren Lent, the GIA promotes awareness and educates the Commonwealth’s elected officials, as well as the general public on best practices, standards, and scientific research in arboriculture, integrated pest management, lawn care and turfgrass maintenance, sustainable landscape design, irrigation, green space stewardship, and more.

Green Industry Alliance members include MA Arborists Association (MAA), Massachusetts Association of Landscape Professionals (MALP), Massachusetts Association of Lawn Care Professionals (MALCP), and the Golf Course Superintendents Association of New England (GCANE).
