Lawns can help prevent wind and water erosion, control flooding, break down organic chemicals, cool the air, reduce noise, and sequester carbon. But they can also increase water consumption and pollute our air and waterways. Learn a sustainable approach to lawn management that includes
• Using environmentally friendly practices
• Managing weeds and pests while doing no harm to pollinators, birds, and other wildlife
• Reducing your lawn with groundcovers and low-maintenance native plant beds.
