We think that the UUFC lawns have had their final mow for the 2025 mowing season. Behind the mown grass that you see surrounding your UUFC Buildings is your dedicated mowing team. We began mowing activities in late March and did the last mowing on Dec 3. This is our longest mowing season to date and we still have not had a killing frost this fall. Climate change in Corvallis?
Our mowers work in two teams of four people each doing monthly mowing rotations on the front/side and back lawns. We will happily expand our rotation if there are others interested in working commercial-grade electric mowers (you can hear the birds and the bees while mowing!) and smelling fresh mown grass. Watch for an announcement in late January for 2026 team creation.
When next you see them, please thank these folks for being part of the 2025 team – Tim Emery, Tom Gabe, Thea Hart, Mona Hotchkiss, David Kyle, Craig Olbrich, and Patti Warner.
As we say on the team, may the Makita be with you (we have Makita mowers and other lawn gear).
– Russ Karow, Mowing Team Lead
