The Apalachicola National Estuarine
Research Reserve is starting an award program for homeowners and
businesses who use bay friendly landscaping practices on their
property.
Bay friendly landscaping practices
include using drought tolerant plants and native vegetation.
It can also include allowing a natural
lawn that doesn't require pesticides or fertilizer, as well as
creating habitats for birds, animals and insects.
If you win you get a sign to put in
your yard showing that you won, as well as a 50 dollar gift card.
The purpose of the award program is to
motivate other people to adopt bay friendly practices to help protect
our bay and other waterways.
Entries are being accepted through
January the 13th.
You can enter by calling 670-7710 or by
going to “Bay-friendly landscaping” on facebook.
