CAN: Act Sustainably

Landscape Practices

We can help the environment in our yards and become part of the solution rather than part of the problem. The practices we choose in our yards can contribute to carbon emissions, or can mitigate the effects of climate change. The choice is ours. Creating a healthy eco-system in our yards is not only good for the environment, but good for us too. Increasing bio-diversity and making a commitment to reduce or, even better, eliminate chemical treatments in our yards is good for us, our children, our pets and the eco-system. 

We need to be bold. We need to embrace an aesthetic that sees native plant meadows as not only a beautiful replacement for lawn, but a necessary intervention to save pollinators, wildlife, bio-diverse ecosystems, and a future where our children and grandchildren can chase butterflies and catch fireflies in jars. 

We implore you to take action and join the movement to link our yards to create a bio-diverse, rich habitat through joining the Ardsley Pollinator Pathway Project. It easy to do and it will save you money and time. You will also enjoy your yard so much more. You'll watch the birds that return, the butterflies that visit, and the animals that scurry about in your native landscape. They need you and we need them. Make the choice today to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.
