Turfgrass
Association
Welcome
The Ottawa Valley Turfgrass Association (OVTA) was founded in 1972
when a group directly involved with the turfgrass industry recognized
the need for a local association. Founding members established a
forum through which they could encourage and support research and
interchange scientific and practical knowledge relating to the
construction and care of turfgrass areas as it pertained to their own
environment. The OVTA initially started with fewer than forty members
and played host to one golf tournament each year, the Fall Field day.
Today, membership is over two hundred and in addition to the annual
Fall Field Day, the OVTA plays host to two other tournaments and an
annual Winter/Spring Seminar and Tradeshow.

For more information on the OVTA, please feel free to contact one of
our Board of Directors.
