Many of us live in cities and towns with outdated, pollinator-unfriendly grass and weed bylaws, and some of us have had to defend our habitat gardens to bylaw officers and city bureaucrats. If you are interested in working with your city or town to advance pollinator (and earth) friendly bylaws, join us for this upcoming webinar.
This event is open to all so share details with your neighbours, family members and friends. Don’t worry If you cannot tune-in to the live event. All registrants will receive a recording link.
Municipal bylaws webinar
Saturday, October 1, 2 p.m. ET
(Please note this webinar is on Saturday, not Sunday.)
Municipal grass and weeds bylaws across the country are often so vaguely written and arbitrarily enforced that they can be used to discourage and/or destroy habitat gardens. In this webinar, native plant advocate and author Lorraine Johnson will outline the problems and contradictions contained in many such bylaws, discuss the legal precedents that protect habitat gardens, and offer advice for proactively working with municipalities on bylaw reform.
