As a Resident and Homeowner

How you landscape and care for your garden makes a big difference, especially if you live near a creek. We all can help our creeks stay healthy by:

• Minimizing impervious “hardscape”       
• Minimizing off-season watering
• Minimizing use of fertilizers and pesticides
• Leaving some of your garden open to wildlife
• Planting native plants which need little water, fertilizer, or pesticides
• Avoiding or removing invasive non-natives such as pampas grass, Algerian ivy, broom, olive, and vinca
• Visiting our creeks and letting your kids explore them (supervised, if appropriate)
