Going Above And Beyond The Call Of Duty For Military Families
Military families face many challenges when a loved one is deployed. Project EverGreen’s GreenCare for Troops was founded to ease the burden on the families of deployed military personnel by providing complimentary lawn and landscape services during the length of deployment. The nationwide program recognizes June 20-26, 2021, as National GreenCare for Troops Awareness Week, and issues a call for volunteers to register to help meet the growing number of military families requesting services. It also hopes to raise awareness with military families, and encourages eligible personnel to register to receive services. GreenCare for Troops marks its 15th year in 2021 and has provided an estimated $10 million in donated lawn and landscape services and peace of mind to thousands of military families in need across the country. “GreenCare for Troops is more than a program that checks a box and takes care of a necessary service, it has become a transformative experience for both volunteers and recipients,” said Cindy Code, executive director of Project EverGreen. “Not only do our volunteers provide a valued service that relieves a burden for military families, but they are also sustaining a healthy, safe lawn and yard for kids to play and families to unwind in at the end of a stressful day.” Here’s a glimpse of why GreenCare for Troops is so important to military families: “Thank you for caring for the troops and their families. There are no words to say how much of a weight is lifted off our shoulders ...

10 Quick Plowing Tips To Protect Your Transmission
According to BOSS Snowplow, transmission damage is one of the most common problems that can occur while plowing. BOSS recommends the following steps to help protect your truck transmission: • Do not plow in overdrive unless your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual recommends it. • Plan your plow pattern so that you drive forward as much as possible. • Come to a complete stop before shifting from forward to reverse. • Wait until the transmission engages before accelerating. • Accelerate slowly, allowing the tires to grip the road surface for better traction. Avoid spinning the tires. • Start driving forward before lowering the plow for a pass. • Whenever possible, back into a cleared area. • If you have a manual transmission, avoid riding the clutch while plowing. • Change the transmission fluid before and during the plowing season. If the fluid has a burnt smell, change the fluid as soon as possible. • You can install an inline transmission heat gauge to monitor the temperature in your transmission. If it reaches 121°C (250°F), let the vehicle idle until the fluid cools. Want to talk with fellow lawn care and landscape professionals about Truck & Equipment Repair?
