A New Era in Sustainable Groundskeeping: Husqvarna Teams Up with Daniel Stowe Conservancy

In celebration of World Nature Conservation Day, Husqvarna, a leading name in outdoor power equipment, has announced an exciting new partnership with the Daniel Stowe Conservancy, an expansive 380-acre conservation site and botanical garden located just near Husqvarna's North American headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. The alliance between Husqvarna and the Conservancy is built on shared values of community service, environmental conservation, and a commitment to sustainable practices.

A Commitment to Sustainability

Husqvarna's focus on sustainability is evident in their ambitious goals—a commitment to reduce their absolute carbon dioxide emissions by 35% and to introduce 50 new Circular Innovations by the end of 2025. This partnership is a significant step in moving toward those targets. As the preferred equipment provider for the Daniel Stowe Conservancy, Husqvarna will support the site’s transition to quieter and low-emission solutions, which include the deployment of the Husqvarna Automower® robotic mowers and other battery-powered tools.

This collaboration goes beyond equipping the Conservancy with cutting-edge tools. The partnership will also encompass community-driven events, volunteer opportunities, and collaboration through the Conservancy’s Sustainability Advisory Committee. Alex Trimboli, Senior Director of Marketing at Husqvarna, states, "We are thrilled to team up with an organization like the Daniel Stowe Conservancy, which shares our deep roots in the Charlotte community and a bold vision for sustainability. This partnership kicks off an exciting future of collaboration, creating a lasting impact not only on the Conservancy's beautiful landscape but on our city's environmental future."

The Role of the Daniel Stowe Conservancy

The Daniel Stowe Conservancy serves as an ecological sanctuary, showcasing diverse environments, including woodlands, wetlands, and grasslands, topped off by the stunning 90-acre Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens. Open to the public daily, it is not only a peaceful retreat but also a hub for environmental education and community connection. Under the guidance of its founder, Daniel J. Stowe, the conservancy is deeply committed to conservation, primarily through native plant restorations and sustainable practices.

Jason Bonham, Director of Horticulture at the Conservancy, shared insights into their mission, stating, "As we become even stronger stewards of these expansive grounds, minimizing emissions and reducing sound pollution remain top priorities. Partnering with Husqvarna enables us to replace most of our gas-powered tools with cleaner, quieter battery-powered alternatives, enhancing our efficiency, safety, and long-term sustainability."

Comprehensive Equipment Solutions

In its role as the preferred equipment provider, Husqvarna will offer a wide array of both battery-powered and gas-powered equipment. Both companies recognize that different technologies serve unique needs, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right tools for specific tasks. This approach not only aids in effective grounds maintenance but also contributes to the broader goal of sustainability.

Looking Toward the Future

Husqvarna’s partnership with the Daniel Stowe Conservancy marks a notable step forward in promoting sustainability and environmental stewardship within the region. As both entities collaborate, they aim to weave sustainable practices into the fabric of their projects, ensuring a healthier environment for future generations.
