City of Batavia Conservation @ Home Presentation
Are you
looking at a way to make your yard more environmentally friendly & attract
butterflies?
If so then come to City Hall on Thursday, April 3rd, at 7pm to see an the Conservation Foundation’s Conservation@Home
program, which encourages and recognizes property owners that protect and/or create yards that are environmentally friendly and conserve water.
Whether you are starting from a grass lawn or
have existing natural areas, the Conservation@Home program can help you
make your yard more attractive to wildlife and retain precious rainwater by
planting native
vegetation, creating butterfly and
rain gardens, using rain barrels and removing exotic species of plants. The
selection and use of native plants will help solve common yard problems such as
wet spots, not enough variety of color, or grass won’t grow, etc.
Some of the topics to be covered in this program
are rain barrels, rain gardens and native plants.
Come
to Batavia City Hall in the Council Chamber at 7pm to learn more, we hope to see you!
