NTRF Ambassadors

Supporting Research That Shapes Canada’s Greenspaces

About the NTRF Ambassador Community

NTRF Ambassador Badge

NTRF Ambassadors are individuals who choose to support independent, science-based turfgrass research that informs responsible management and strengthens Canada's greenspaces. Their annual contribution helps ensure research priorities are industry-informed, outcomes are shared widely, and funding supports projects with real-world impact.

This recognition-based designation reflects a shared commitment to collaboration, environmental stewardship, and the long-term health of turfgrass systems. By standing with NTRF, Ambassadors help advance research that benefits professionals, communities, and the environments where turfgrass plays a vital role.

Why Ambassadors Matter

NTRF Ambassadors build momentum for turfgrass research by increasing visibility, encouraging industry participation, and demonstrating a shared commitment to science-based solutions that benefit communities across Canada.

Designed to be accessible and meaningful, the program offers a simple annual contribution that signals leadership, stewardship, and support for research with real-world impact.
