Fifth Annual Yard Smart Walk

Join us Saturday, June 28 for the Ecology Action Center’s fifth annual Yard Smart Walk! We will tour five yards in the area that demonstrate the Yard Smart principles.

The Yard Smart Program is a voluntary effort to help reduce synthetic pesticide use, conserve natural resources and make room for wildlife. Because studies indicate human health concerns as well as environmental concerns associated with over-use of synthetic lawn chemicals, Yard Smart has developed yard care practices that are safe for children and pets.

The event is free and open to the public. If you are interested in joining the tour, please call the Ecology Action Center at 309-454-3169 to reserve your spot.
