Schiller Grounds Care, a Southampton manufacturer of lawn and garden equipment, has announced a new partnership with the Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust of Huntingdon Valley. In addition to encouraging staff to volunteer at the Pennypack Trust, Schiller will be donating equipment to help the Trust maintain its extensive grounds, starting with a BOB-CAT 52” AirFX mower.
As steward of 833 acres of Montgomery County’s second-largest privately owned natural area that is open to the public, the Pennypack Trust depends on the support of various benefactors. Schiller’s donation of the state-of-the-art BOB-CAT AirFX mower will allow staff to save time in creating pathways throughout the protected meadows as well as maintaining the corporate grounds.
“Our staff is saving hours of time every day due to the speed of the BOB-CAT. Not only is it faster and self-propelled, it is also extremely agile and able to work on steep slopes and through tight spaces,” said Chris Mendel, executive director at the Trust. “This is useful on trails and also in tree plantations where grass and weeds are not too thick or well established.”
“We are a strong believer in the work the Trust does and the benefit they provide our region,” said Claude Corcos, vice president of sales and marketing at Schiller Grounds Care. “We want the Schiller team to enjoy and support that work. The mower donation was simply an attempt to underscore our belief.”
