The Senator Russet Perry Named Virginia Turfgrass Council Environmental Institute Outstanding Legislator
The Virginia Turfgrass Council Environmental Institute awarded Senator Russet Perry with its Outstanding Legislator Award during a service project at Manassas Central Library in Prince William County. The award recognizes legislators who go above and beyond learning about challenges faced by the thousands of turfgrass, lawn and landscape professionals in the Commonwealth.
“We’re thrilled to recognize Senator Perry in this way. Ever since she was elected, she has taken the time to understand our industry and other small businesses like ours,” said VTC’s Beck Stanley. “Her dedication to the turfgrass, lawn and landscaping industry is admirable, and we are grateful.”
After the award presentation, Senator Perry joined VTC staff and board members for a tour of the service project at Manassas Central Library. The project included installation of pollinator areas, shade trees and stormwater beds. Through the use of these landscaping features, the area is now a beautiful, sustainable addition to the library.
