Unfortunately, lawns provide little to no habitat for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife. Lawns are often treated with fertilizers and pesticides and toxins from pesticides which end up in our wetlands, rivers, and the Sound, and their root systems are too shallow to effectively filter storm water runoff. Neighborhoods around Wilton are starting to rethink their lawns. The Norwalk River Watershed held three landowner forums throughout the summer, facilitating discussions around lawn to meadow conversion, dam removal and riparian buffers, and No Mow May and pollinator habitats. Join the Norwalk River Watershed Association for a culmination of these three events, highlighting the impacts of lawn management in the Comstock Brook Watershed. Registration required.  Please register online or call 203-762-6334.  Contact asato@wiltonlibrary.org for more information. To register, visit www.wiltonlibrary.org.
