Mike Reno, head groundskeeper for the Class A Peoria Chiefs, has spent his career preparing fields where legends are made, a journey he embarked on while at Arizona State University in the early 2000s. It was a busy time at Sun Devil Stadium, which was hosting ASU football, the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals and bowl games. In Tempe, Reno’s path merged with some of the biggest moments in sports.

At the 2:11 mark of the third quarter, Los Angeles kicker Greg Zuerlein drilled a 53-yard field goal to level the score. On the receiving end of that boot was Reno.

Many in our industry aspire to maintain and promote ecosystem services of plants. The search for plants that are both not weedy or invasive yet are still attractive to pollinators continues. Often pollinator attractiveness is sacrificed to ensure a new introduction has a low risk of becoming invasive. Dr. Contreras and his group aim to develop robust and consistent metrics for evaluating a plant’s potential to be invasive as well as support pollinator services.

Traditionally manual planting has been most effective when replanting an area with seedlings (1-2 yr old trees grown in a nursery). Why use seeds?
