ACLT's Earth Day Countdown Day 19 Sustainable-Living Tip: Let your yard go wild! ACLT's spring edition of its newsletter - https://buff.ly/2X7goE1, features two articles from our Chesapeake Conservation Corps Interns that describe the benefits of converting at least part of your yard into a natural meadow or a "food forest" with native plants and trees. Besides reducing the amount of time and effort it takes to maintain a green lawn, natural landscapes are highly beneficial for wildlife and help improve water quality of local streams that eventually empty into the Chesapeake Bay. For a step-by-step guide to "Conservation Landscaping", read the University of Maryland Extension's guide here: https://buff.ly/2JFDl9m ... See MoreSee Less
