tammy-kovar-biological-tree-servicesBiological Tree Services Wins Sarasota County EDC Entrepreneurship Award.

Biological Tree Services, owned by Tammy Kovar, was awarded the “2009 Hall of Fame Entrepreneurship Award” by the Sarasota County Economic Development Corporation (EDC). The annual Hall of Fame awards recognize Sarasota County businesses for outstanding achievements that support the Sarasota EDC’s vision “To be the organization that is the catalyst for creating a vibrant economy that is sustainable and competitive globally”.

The Entrepreneurship Award recognizes a business in its first five years of operation. The Sarasota EDC’s award criteria include corporate citizenship and community involvement, corporate responsibility through employee programs, company growth, market expansion and innovative achievements. Biological Tree Services was also named a finalist for the “Green-to-Gold Award” which recognizes a business that develops green products, services, processes, technologies or ways of doing business. 

Biological Tree Services is nationally recognized for its expertise in developing biologically based, sustainable approaches for turf, plant and tree care. Biological Tree Services is the service-based subsidiary of parent company Think Global LLC which Kovar founded as a globally aware, leading specialty landscape maintenance service provider and product distributor focused on the utilization of natural biological products and environmentally responsible integrated pest management practices.

The innovative programs employed by Biological Tree Services introduce living microbes into urban and rural (agricultural) landscapes to drive the natural sustainable processes found in forest ecosystems throughout the world. This allows homeowners, architects, governments, developers and builders to create vibrant landscapes that reduce life cycle costs and uphold an environmental stewardship ethic. In addition, Biological Tree Services’ natural products comply with the Sarasota County fertilizer ordinance requirement to reduce chemical fertilizer during the summer months. These products are distributed through its’ retail store, Sustainable Landscape Supply, located in Lakewood Ranch, FL and can be purchased online (www.sustainablelandscapesupply.com).

As a recipient of the EDC award Biological Tree Services will also be nominated for the Florida Governor’s Business Diversification Award.  Prior to the EDC award Biological Tree Services was awarded the Sustainable Florida “Small Business Best Practice Award” at the Sustainable Florida 11th Annual ceremony in Orlando. The award winners are chosen as representing the best in sustainability practices in the state of Florida.
