#FYIFriday! When people come together to get good work done, everyone benefits--even the trees! 🌳 When a concerned resident reached out to @Department of Parks and Parkways to report that a live oak on her right-of-way seemed choked by concrete, they called our little tree protection gang. We were able to support the crew at @Groundwork New Orleans so they could get on the case and get the job done. Now the tree has some room to spread its roots, and there's a little less pavement in New Orleans. Go team!! 💪💪💪 #frontyardinitiative #treecanopy #treeprotection #nativeplants (fb)

#FYIFriday! May 20 is Reduce Your Lawn Day! 🌺🌻🪷 American Meadows, a company that helps people nationwide source seeds and plants that are native to their areas, hosts this annual day to encourage a move away from resource-intensive, monocultured lawns, towards gorgeous meadows of wildflowers. Last year, over 1,300 people all over the country pledged to turn over 10,000,000 square feet of turf lawn into space for native plants and pollinators. That's a HUGE difference! Be part of that number this year and pledge even a couple square feet. You'd be amazed by what nature can do with even a tiny space. Make your pledge now on their website! https://www.americanmeadows.com/content/reduce-your-lawn-day?srsltid=AfmBOoo7hZXAlViWmnWOxudwf_scKRlY2q3TSz-LaxYk4QWGB7_w9RnI #frontyardinitiave #nativeplants #reduceyourlawnday (fb)
