Safe Grow Educational Website Launched in Takoma Park, MD

摘要

To assist in the implementation of its landmark ban on cosmetic pesticides on public and private property, the city of Takoma Park, Maryland recently completed and launched a "Safe Grow" website, featuring educational materials created by Beyond Pesticides. The in-depth website lays out the materials and cultural practices necessary to maintain lawns without synthetic pesticides. Though this website is written for Takoma Park specifically, the information it contains can be used by anyone interested in transitioning to a sustainable lawn, and is a model for other communities, whether they have an ordinance or not, in order to advance sustainable, organic turf management.
