To The Landcare professionals at PLANET




We are excited about our newly revised eco-friendly Green Industry Star module certification program.

We realize that many professionals in our industry specialize in a particular area of interest. And, it takes all of us with a variety of backgrounds and knowledge to manage the green industry’s broad scope.and needs.

To assist our industry, MLNA has put in place a way to identify a Green Industry Professional. It makes managers and owner’s job easier when hiring staff, recognizing an employee’s abilities and building achievement based incentive programs with an educational platform.

We feel we have done that with our new Green Industry Star program which has five separate stand alone modules including BUSINESS! CLP’s can now become a Green Industry Business Star. Our certification is comprised of both our MLNA / university based general knowledge test and PLANET’s Certified Landscape Professional Certification.

We feel as members of PLANET that we have benefited from belonging to such a professional oriented national and international organization. MLNA want to continue that support by encouraging Green Industry Professionals to participate in both the PLANET’s certification program and our Green Industry Star program. And if all five modules are pursued , we will have a stewardship oriented, sustainable workforce of Five Star Green Industry Professionals!

(Proof of active CLP status must be provided to qualify to completing the business module)

Please encourage all PLANET members to be professionally involved in their associations, their community and the future!

MLNA... Growing Together!
