This Week's Tip from.

The CBI Alliance for Sustainability

"The only biodiversity we're going to have left is Coke versus
Pepsi....We're landscaping the whole world one stupid mistake at a time."

Chuck Palahniuk

If you have passed by the corner of South Orange Ave. and Cherry Lane, you
might have noticed a white cover over large portions of the meadow.  The
South Mountain Conservancy's Citizen Science Program has taken a one-acre
plot that has traditionally been a mowed field and is returning it to its
natural state. They are creating a pollinator meadow to increase
biodiversity and to help manage the habitat for bees, butterflies, moths,
and birds. If you would like to help with this project, please contact
<mailto:citizenscience at somocon.org> citizenscience at somocon.org. What the
Conservancy is doing on a large scale, you can do on a smaller scale in your
own yard. By replacing sections of grass with native plants you will
conserve water, reduce pollution, and create biodiversity. Check out this
interesting post from the New York Times on creating an ecologically
responsible garden that is also beautiful.
