Overseas members of the military will be getting a little help on the homefront from the New Hampshire Landscape Association, which is joining the national SnowCare for Troops Movement.

Belknap Landscape Co. has nine routes throughout the Lakes Region and is among those offering free snow-plowing to families of active-duty overseas military.

“We’re proud to lend a hand to help our local military families who already carry so much on their shoulders — the last thing they should be worrying about is digging out after the next snowstorm,” said Dale Squires of Belknap Landscape Co.

The project, underwritten by BOSS Snowplow, grew out of Project Evergreen, which offered mowing to military families. Project spokesman Joy Westernberg said there are now more than 1,000 military families nationwide enrolled. She said this will be the second winter that snow removal has been included.

“This is an absolutely a free service,” said Westernberg, who will match volunteers such Belknap Landscape Co. with families of overseas New Hampshire service members.

Military families can apply online at www.projectevergreen.com/scft or call toll-free, 1-888-611-2956.

Squires said there is no direct contact between the volunteer plow companies and the families; it is all handled through Project Evergreen.
