Help our oceans and aquifer by Stopping the lawn treatments

Runoff from rain and irrigation carries fertilizer into water bodies, harming fish and wildlife, causing algae blooms, and contaminating drinking water sources, posing environmental risks. Unless you’ve had your soil tested, you may not need fertilizer. Save money and help protect local waterways.
