Mission Statement

Our purpose is to protect wildlife through the use and processes of deterrence that are environmentally sustainable, renewable, and kind.

FlightTurf® was developed as a groundcover that most animals would avoid, using certain grasses that do not attract wildlife. FlightTurf® is a low-growth turfgrass to be grown as a monoculture in areas that are high-risk or incompatible to wildlife. Since it is not a food source, it discourages grazing animals like deer and Canada geese from congregating where they are not wanted, for example where they could endanger humans or themselves such as on airfields. Wildlife are naturally attracted to the giant open spaces of airfields. The grasses commonly planted, as well as the volunteer weeds, are a food source. FlightTurf® is the ideal replacement. The environmental benefits of FlightTurf® are clear. It inherently requires less water, slow growing, noninvasive, less mowing, and very deep root systems.

Christina Kobland

President/CSO

Christina Kobland, a zoologist and lover of wildlife, founded Native Return®, LLC, a WBE certified company specializing in the use of native plants and animals to restore balance to ecosystems suffering decline. Her attention to detail, technical understanding, and ability to structure cost-effective strategies have enabled her to implement novel landscaping technology in industrial environments.

Exposure to airport landscaping needs led her to the development of FlightTurf® and LymeX®, a short, live, patented turfgrass technology which eliminates mowing, earning her a Philadelphia Green Innovator Award. It’s Christina’s dream to use the proceeds to create and set aside land preserves to permanently protect wildlife.

Jon Roddick

Technical/Sales

Jon Roddick comes from a long family line of entrepreneurial engineers and farmers both offering a nice complement to his work with FlightTurf® and LymeX®. He’s spent most of his life working and managing a service business which gives him a nice edge with customer service.
