Rethinking the Green Carpet:
Shrinking the Lawn​​
​Transforming turfgrass landscapes into vibrant habitats offers important benefits for pollinators, wildlife, and the microbes that sustain soil health. This presentation begins by exploring the history and environmental impact of lawns in America. From there, we’ll dive into strategies for removing grass, enhancing soil health, and implementing lawn alternatives that foster biodiversity. Learn how impactful changes can transform your yard into a sanctuary that nurtures life, promotes ecological balance, and inspires a deeper connection with nature.
