If you reduce your lawn area, you're doing so many things good for the
environment: less maintenance, no chemicals and fertilizers, less
stormwater runoff. And a lawn provides little or no support for wildlife.
There are already many great sites and pamphlets around that talk about
why we should reduce our lawns. If you want to know more, check out
these links:
National Wildlife Federation - "Lawn Reduction" and "Problems with
Traditional Landscaping"
National Audubon Society - "Rethink Your Lawn"
Wild Ones: Grow it! Don't Mow it
If you decide you want to start the process of reducing or eliminating your
lawn, remember that you don't need to do it all at once! Most people
gradually start reducing their lawn by replacing small lawn areas with
mulched native plant beds or pathways.
