Hello,

I am looking for images/graphics to support our pesticide reduction initiative. We are in the process of creating videos which demonstrate lawn care practices such as aeration, fertilizing, topdressing, etc. The videos will support our CBSM efforts in two ways. First, they will be a part of our website to provide a more vivid description of the cultural practices we are promoting. Second, we will email participating residents links to the videos that serve as both a resource and prompt for the lawn care methods they are interested in.

To complement the videos, I am hoping to include slides of certain images. If you own images of any of the following, we would like to obtain permission to use: - turf cross section showing grass root growth - ideally a picture showing the difference between the root growth of short-cut grass and longer-cut grass - turf cross section showing core aeration

Thank you.
