WESTPORT — “Your Yard, Our Climate,” a three-month initiative highlighting ways homeowners can reap impactful benefits from their backyards — and plant the seeds for broader environmental wellness — has been launched by Sustainable Westport.
The project, featuring a range of workshops, activities and classes, is planned from April through June. For the complete schedule, click here.
Sustainable Westport is joined by a coalition of local partners organizing the project, including Earthplace, Wakeman Town Farm, Aspetuck Land Trust and Gilbertie’s Garden Center.
The “Your Yard, Our Climate” program offers participants varied opportunities “to reimagine their outdoor spaces as powerful tools in the fight against climate change — demonstrating that meaningful environmental progress can start right at home,” according to Sustainable Westport’s announcement.
Experts will explain ways to consider different methods to maintain lawns, support pollinators, use native plantings and adopt sustainable landscaping practices for properties of all sizes.
The initiative “emphasizes the significant role that personal choices in our outdoor spaces play in addressing the climate crisis,” the environmental advocacy group said.
