Eco-Road Hero

We are taking a moment to reflect on 2024. We have reached a 6 year anniversary with our relationship with the team at Cypher Environmental Ltd . Here are some insightful words from Todd Burns . If you would like to find out more information about environmentally friendly dust control then contact us at www.ecoroadhero.com #gratitude #dustcontrol #newyear2025 #relationships #dustcontrol

Canberra Racing Club (CRC) were facing a water crisis in 2019 after a multi-year drought. Their source of water from Icon Water was being restricted. The water was essential for the minimising the dust exposure to their human and equine athletes that use their training facilities. CRC contacted Eco-Road Hero for dust mitigation that was also water efficient. Eco-Road Hero worked with the Canberra team to deploy Dust/Blokr® technology onto the sand based exercise tracks. This was completed using existing equipment and without any impact to the facility operations. Dust/Blokr® was developed by Cypher Environmental as an environmentally friendly dust control technology. Cypher are based in Winnipeg, Canada. Dust/Blokr® has zero chlorides and has been used in equine sport, aviation, mining, general roads and forestry Dust/Blokr® reduced the dust related complaints from 2-3 per week to ZERO. Canberra Racing Club reduced their water usage by 90% on the treated tracks. The total water saving since 2019 has been over 180 Megalitres across all the treated tracks. This is water saving equivalent to over 70 Olympic sized swimming pools. #racing #thoroughbredracing #horseracing #horses #equinesport #equinehealth #dustcontrol

Water is precious and vital for humanity. Recently we had the opportunity to discuss water reduction with the students at Grovely TAFE. The discussion centred on soil amendments that reduce water wastage like Mineral Magic . Thank you to Eddie for the opportunity to help educate the next cohort of turf professionals. The questions and engagment from the group were excellent. It was impressive that many questions were focussed on sustainability in their work. #sustainability #water #irrigation #soilhealth #turf

Equine sport provides a number of important opportunities to the community. This is particularly important in regional areas. Here is an example from Thoroughbred Park , where local enterprizes have the opportunity to showcase their creativity to the community. In this activity local food and beverage suppliers sell their produce to folk attending the race meeting. This helps generate business oppprtunities for these suppliers. Check out the post for more information. #regional #uptothecup #yuptothecup #equine #equinesport #canberra

Today is Thank a Superintendent day. The turf managers that maintain golf courses have to manage a complex work environment and have many factors outside of their control. The turf folk have to adapt to changing weather conditions in order to meet stakeholder expectations. This means that they have to make decisions in real time in order to acheive best possible outcomes. The results of their decisions are highly visible to their stakeholders. The turf managers work hard to deliver a great sport experience as well as provide eco system services like habitat protection, flood mitigation and green spaces. We are going to take a few minutes out of our day and extend #gratitude to those hardworking and sincere individuals in the turf management profession. The attached post is a case study of three of the many golf course superintendents who deliver great outcomes for 365 days a year. #thankasuperintendent #ecosystem #turf #sport #thankasuper #thankagreenkeeper #sportsturfmanagement
